Two People Critically Injured Following Immigrant Gang Attacks in Rome
12th January 2026
Two brutal attacks occurred within the space of an hour near the Termini station in central Rome on Saturday night, December 10th. The violence left two people severely injured and prompted an immediate strengthening of the security presence at the central train station, with additional soldiers and police deployed, authorities said on Sunday.
The first attack came around 10:00 p.m., just a few meters from the entrance to Termini station. A 57-year-old Italian man was reportedly surrounded and beaten by a group of attackers. Surveillance cameras captured the brutal aggression, showing seven or eight people encircling the victim and repeatedly striking him, mainly in the face, before dispersing.
The violence was so severe that the man was left lying in the street, bleeding and apparently lifeless. Emergency medical workers rushed him to hospital, where he was admitted to intensive care with extremely serious, life-threatening injuries.
