Palermo, 11.13.25 - A man assaulted a 6-year-old girl who was walking on a sidewalk in Palermo, a few feet away from her mother. After the attack, the assailant left as if nothing had happened. A police officer who witnessed the scene detained him, but released him minutes later after confirming that he had a disability. The victim's mother reacted immediately. She approached to comfort the girl, who was frightened and crying. The incident occurred on Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on Güemes Street, near Plaza Italia.
It happened when the girl was returning from a swimming lesson. She asked her mother for permission to go ahead to the door of the building where she lives, on the same block where the attack took place. On the way, she crossed paths with the attacker who, without saying a word, kicked her in the chest and ran away. Everything was filmed by a security camera on the block. The images clearly show the entire sequence. The mother, who was pushing a stroller with a baby, tried to intercept the attacker, but the man dodged her.
A police officer who was on the block detained the attacker, a 22-year-old Venezuelan man, and verified that he was wearing a disability card around his neck. The attacker's mother arrived at the scene minutes later and said that her son is not aggressive and has a developmental delay.
