A 24-year-old Malaysian
national was arrested Sunday night for allegedly attacking a
couple who were walking hand-in-hand and kissing near an Islamic
centre in Rome's Esquilino quarter. The man reportedly told them
"you can't kiss in front of the mosque" before pushing the young
woman and punching and kicking the young man. The assailant also
allegedly attacked police who came to the scene. A Carabiniere
was slightly hurt.
