ITALY AT THE BREAKING POINT: Hundreds take to streets after migrant attacks teenage girl
A MASSIVE protest erupted on the streets of the Italian port city of Trieste after an 18-year-old girl was attacked by a migrant group.
The incident sparked a large scale police response after the young girl said she was approached and detained by three migrants near a refugee centre in the city which is situated close to the Slovak border.
According to reports 400 citizens took to the streets after the girl reported the incident to her mother.
And it has been claimed that the mass demonstration turned ugly after migrants began throwing stones at the crowds who assembled to protest at the incident.
The mother of the girl who has not been named spoke to the newspaper Gazzettino insisting her child has been left traumatised by her experience after she was cornered coming off a bus.
She said: "It is not right to be afraid for your daughter, I do not know if my daughter will be able to go back to public transport."
The incident occurred after a migrant centre was set up at the Villa Nazareth di Trieste.
