Failed Mugging By A Migrant In Rome Results In Instant Street Justice From Locals

Italian authorities are searching for six residents from the Roma district of Quarticciolo after viral footage published on social media showed a spontaneous group of vigilantes beat an Indian migrant suspected of mugging an elderly lady on Thursday.

In the video, filmed by a fellow resident, a group of around six individuals can be seen detaining a 26-year-old Indian national on a run-down street in the Italian capital, before proceeding to punch and kick the man as he lay defenseless on the road.

At one point, one of the vigilante attackers can be seen picking up a motorcycle helmet and using it as a weapon to strike the suspected mugger on the head.

“He mugged an old lady,” claims the woman filming from her balcony, as cited by Italian news outlet Virgilio Notizie, while one of the attackers shouts, “You piece of shit, I’ll kill you.”
