A man violated a restraining order
and attacked his ex wife outside her home in Rome on Monday
evening.
The incident occurred in the area of Piazzale Clodio northwest
of the city centre.
The man, aged 34 and from the capital, was apprehended
immediately by Carabinieri police.
The violent crime prosecutor has requested for the precautionary
measures ordered against the man to be tightened.
The incident comes against the backdrop of renewed public
attention to and concern about gender-based violence following
the high-profile femicide of 22-year-old engineering student
Giulia Cecchettin.
