Italian police on Friday arrested
a gang of youths accused of beating up a teen on the Rome metro
last October.
The so-called 'baby gang' kicked and punched the boy after he
asked them to stop jostling him.
The attack, between the stations of Numidio Quadrato and
Subaugusta, left the victim with a broken vertebra and head and
back injuries.
The gang members were aged between 15 and 17, police said.
Youth gang violence is a rising concern in Italy, and
especially in the southern city of Naples.
