In a dramatic turn of events last afternoon in Torre del Greco, near Naples, a 16-year-old boy was rescued by the Carabinieri after fleeing from a community in Mondragone. The teenager, who had been staying in a B&B with false documents, attempted to escape upon encountering the military officers, leading to a perilous situation where he ended up in the sea, risking drowning.
The incident began when the Carabinieri responded to a report of suspicious individuals in Via Mortelle. Upon requesting identification from the young man, who was alone on the street, he chose to flee, initiating a chase that spanned several kilometers. The pursuit culminated near a seaside restaurant, where the teenager leaped into the sea from a height of over 4 meters, landing first on sharp rocks before plunging into the water.
Despite sustaining severe fractures and spinal injuries from the fall, the boy continued to swim until he lost consciousness. Quick action by the Carabinieri and nearby lifeguards prevented a tragic outcome, as they managed to pull him to safety before he could drown. He was subsequently rushed to the hospital for treatment of his injuries.
This incident highlights the dangers faced by young individuals who attempt to escape from community care, often resorting to desperate measures. The swift response of the Carabinieri and the collaboration with local lifeguards were crucial in ensuring the teenager's survival, underscoring the importance of community and law enforcement cooperation in such critical situations.
