Three people were cited Monday on
suspicion of attacking a drunk African migrant with an iron pipe
and a stick in Ventimiglia close to Italy's border with France
on Sunday afternoon, local sources said Monday.
The three were cited for grievous bodily harm using blunt
objects, police said.
They are all resident in Ventimiglia, police said.
One of them has a criminal record.
Police are weighing the position of a fourth person who appears
in the video at the end of the attack, judicial sources said.
The migrant, who has not been named, was allegedly attacked
outside a supermarket after he argued with a couple inside it.
The man, who was drunk, allegedly started bothering the couple
with pleas for money and a row ensued.
