Italian police on Tuesday cited
four youths who allegedly hurt five passers-by in Turin
September 25 by shooting large needles at them with a nail gun
from a car.
They allegedly hit the five victims, one in the back of the
neck, after choosing them as random targets in the area between
Piazza Rivoli and Corso Lecce, police said.
The shots were fired from a Toyota Yaris and a Porsche
Cayenne, police said.
Police seized in the homes of those cited a number of darts
and cartoon figures they presumably used for target practice.
One of the victims was reportedly a doctor who specialised in
acupuncture.
Police said the youths, who were not named, were bored and
looking for kicks.
Two of the four, aged 28 and 25, have been traced while the
other two are still being sought, police said.
