From meridio news

A young man of colour emerges running down Via Etnea, swollen in the face, bleeding. Shaking and crying for help. A few seconds later, on the same street, Via Penninello, four white men appear. One of them topless. “Bastard of a foreigner”, they have time to scream before vanishing. These are the final moments of aggression swallowing up Tuesday evening, a little after 8pm, right in the heart of the old centre. A harassment which emerged from racial hatred, according to some witnesses.
