A Rimini man was arrested
Wednesday night for attempted homicide aggravated by racial
motives after savagely beating and stabbing a 25-year-old
Nigerian asylum seeker.
According to an initial reconstruction the aggressor first
kicked and then stabbed the young man and, when he tried to
escape, ran him over with his car.
The victim is fighting for his life.
He arrived in Italy in September on a dinghy that landed in
Sicily.
The assailant, a 39-year-old Roman resident in Rimini,
shouted "dirty, s**ty nigger" at his victim before attacking
him, police said.
