“We were attacked by a group of pickpockets in the Rome metro.” It is the complaint of Simone Cicalonea well-known Roman YouTuber, victim of pickpockets on metro A. The former boxer and the other members of his group were on the platform of the Piazza di Spagna station in the direction of Lepanto.
They were about to start filming for a video when the attack occurred. «We were making a new video on the Rome subway, there was a mess: they broke the camera, they hit Evelina – videomaker of the Cicalone group – who hit the wall, was beaten by both a man and some women. Then the police intervened and stopped them. One was banned from staying in Rome, but he was here.”
During the ambush, Cicalone hurt his “nose, knee and neck” and ended up in the emergency room. The ex-boxer was attacked by a group of at least 10 people who, as soon as they realized it was him, began calling for reinforcements.
The YouTuber recently was criticized after having released some videos in which he declared that he was hunting for muggers and pickpockets in the capital’s subway. Initiative that had been condemned by many voices.
