Messina, 63-year-old man stabs brother after argument over old family disputes: arrested

There were moments of fear last night in Messina , where Carabinieri officers from the city's Mobile Radio Unit arrested a 63-year-old man red-handed, suspected of attempted murder and assault . The officers intervened after a report was received via the 112 emergency number regarding a violent fight taking place along Via Garibaldi , near Piazzetta Gringo.

When the Carabinieri arrived on the scene, they pieced together what had happened shortly before. According to an initial reconstruction, the 63-year-old man had accidentally encountered his 71-year-old brother. An argument related to old family disputes broke out between the two, which quickly escalated into an assault. During the altercation, the 63-year-old man allegedly stabbed his brother with a knife.
