Benevento. A 34-year-old Bengali man, without a fixed abode, already subject to an expulsion order from Italian territory, was arrested last afternoon by the soldiers of the Operational and Radiomobile Unit of the Benevento Company. The man, in the late morning of 05.21.2024, was wandering on foot through the streets of the city center of Benevento, when he suddenly entered a hairdressing salon and, after greeting the people present, approached to a young woman who was working inside the shop and, after grabbing her by the arm, he stretched out his hand on the young woman’s breast, groping her and continuing to hold her by force. The woman repeatedly tried to free herself, shouting and asking for help from those present who were inside the shop and who intervened to help her, thus managing to remove the attacker from the shop who ran away on foot. The immediate request for help from the victim allowed the soldiers of the Carabinieri Company of Benevento to immediately arrive on site and immediately identify the person responsible who was stopped and taken to the barracks for subsequent investigations. Once the formalities had been completed, the man was declared under arrest for the crime of sexual violence and, upon order of the Judicial Authority of Benevento, transferred to the prison of this capital. The man arrested is, therefore, currently under investigation and therefore presumed innocent until a final sentence is reached.
