In late July, two separate assaults occurred in Ancona. The first stemmed from a reckless overtaking maneuver that escalated into a violent confrontation, injuring a driver who was taken to hospital. Later that night, a 45‑year‑old man was attacked in Piazza del Crocifisso and also required medical treatment.

A week later, police responded to two more nighttime altercations. Near Piazza Rosselli, a woman called for help after being approached by a man; a passer‑by mistakenly struck her friend with a bottle, leading to hospitalization. In Piazza del Plebiscito, two men of extra‑community origin fought after an exchange of words, with police separating them and one participant facing a residence‑restriction violation.

Both episodes involved multiple, unrelated assaults in public squares, police intervention, and victims receiving medical care, indicating a continuing pattern of street‑level violence in Ancona.
