Translation: Napoli, penalty denied against Atalanta, husband swears and wife stabs him: she thought he was insulting her
Couple argue in Capodimonte during the Napoli-Atalanta match. She stabs him: he had sworn after a penalty denied and thought he was insulting her.
He cursed at home after being denied a penalty in Napoli-Atalanta. His wife thinks the insults were directed at her and stabs him. The man ends up in the emergency room. The woman, a 35-year-old Neapolitan, is arrested by the Carabinieri for domestic violence and aggravated assault. It all happened during yesterday’s league match, Sunday, February 22nd. The couple lives in Capodimonte, a neighborhood in Naples’ historic center. The 40-year-old husband is a die-hard Napoli fan. While watching the match, the man begins cursing at the pace of the game, which Napoli, who initially led, ultimately lost 2-1.
The injured 40-year-old man was admitted to the Ospedale del Mare.
In front of the screen, the 40-year-old man lets out a string of profanities. His wife, according to the Carabinieri’s reconstruction, believes they are directed at her and threatens her husband, telling him to leave or she will stab him. When he refuses, the 35-year-old woman grabs a pair of scissors and throws them at him. She then picks up a kitchen knife and attempts to stab him in the left side. Missing again, the woman aims for the other side. Bleeding, the 40-year-old first dials 112, the emergency number, and then 118 to call the local health authority ambulance. His wife, however, according to the investigators’ reconstruction, did not stop. In fact, during the phone call, she allegedly threw more knives at her partner. One of these was found stuck in a wall by Carabinieri officers at the Capodimonte Station.
The 35-year-old woman was arrested for domestic violence and aggravated assault and is currently in jail awaiting trial. She was also charged with possession of a knife because officers found three other blades in her bag, one of which was a lobster opener. The victim is still hospitalized at the Ospedale del Mare, but her life is not in danger.
