A woman worker at a migrant
reception centre in the northern province of Bergamo on Tuesday
was allegedly sexually abused by a 27-year-old asylum-seeker
from Sierra Leone, Bergamo chief prosecutor Walter Mapelli said
Wednesday.
The asylum seeker allegedly locked the woman, aged 26, in a
bathroom and abused her.
The woman called for help and two asylum seekers at the
complex intervened, breaking down a door.
The attacker jumped from the first floor of the complex but
was subsequently tracked down by Carabinieri police and
arrested.
The woman was admitted to hospital.
