MICHAEL WALSH NEWS Police say foreigners with criminal records carried out linked late-night assaults near Italy’s busiest rail station.

An Italian government official is fighting for his life after being brutally beaten in a migrant gang attack near Rome’s Termini station.

Police believe it was one of two connected assaults carried out within an hour late on Saturday night.

The victim of the first attack is a 57-year-old Italian who works for the Ministry of Enterprise. According to reports, he was surrounded and savagely beaten around 10 p.m. on Via Giolitti, near the Termini station.

Witnesses said the man was left bleeding out in the street. Emergency responders rushed him to Umberto I Hospital, where doctors confirmed he had suffered extremely serious injuries. He remains in critical condition.

Less than an hour later, a delivery driver was attacked on Via Manin in the Esquilino district, also close to Termini. The victim was beaten but managed to escape before the attackers seriously injured him.

Investigators believe both assaults were carried out by the same group.

Surveillance footage reportedly shows seven or eight individuals approaching one of the victims before launching the attack.

Police immediately launched a large overnight operation in the area, carrying out searches, document checks, and arrests.

Those detained are foreign nationals already known to police. Among them is an 18-year-old Egyptian. He has a criminal record for robbery. He has also been charged with receiving stolen goods and carrying weapons. Additionally, he has been found with offensive objects.

He was already under an expulsion order earlier this month for being in Italy illegally.

Police also identified a Tunisian in his 20s with prior convictions for brawling. He also had drug offenses. They identified a 46-year-old man from Mauritius with an outstanding detention order. Additionally, a 43-year-old Peruvian was accused of damaging a police car during police checks.

In total, four non-Europeans were arrested, while others were taken to immigration offices to verify their legal status.

Further checks in the area led to additional arrests for drug dealing, outstanding warrants, and violent behaviour. Police took 16 people for immigration checks. They attempted to regain control of the area around the station.

Lega MP Rossano Sasso says, ‘Yet another attack by immigrants. An Italian man was left near death by the usual gang of non-Europeans who swarm that area day and night. Anyone who travels to Rome by train knows that Termini station is dangerous for anyone.

‘On an almost daily basis, Italians, women and men, fall at the hands of immigrants.

For the safety of Italians, an emergency and special decree should be issued. Our war is at home. This is where we must send money and weapons. Not elsewhere.’
