“The Italian man who was assaulted that day suffered serious injury and was rushed to the hospital to receive medical attention,” said police.

According to information from a witness, the incident happened as Frederico was cleaning up his garden on Saturday afternoon. He called a garbage truck to come to his house to help him transport the rubbish to the landfill. Shortly after, an identified man came with a motorbike and got angry as he was unable to access the road because of the garbage truck.
