21-year-old Italian in pharmacological coma in Barcelona: Aggression by a group of young people outside a clubA 21-year-old Italian man named Nicola Maggiotto from Asolo, Treviso, is in a pharmacological coma in a Barcelona hospital after being attacked by a group of Spanish-speaking youths outside a nightclub. The incident occurred while he was on vacation with eight other friends in Spain. According to his father, Daniele Maggiotto, who traveled to Spain to support his son, the attack took place shortly after midnight when Nicola and another boy were separated from their group. They were approached by approximately a dozen young people, who assaulted Nicola, striking him violently at the back of his head and causing him to lose consciousness. The attackers then started a fight with the other Italians who came to his aid before fleeing before police and emergency services arrived. Nicola has been diagnosed with brain injuries and remains in intensive care with an uncertain prognosis. One friend who tried to defend him sustained a cheekbone injury requiring stitches but was later released. Authorities in Spain are investigating the incident, and there is no indication that the attack was motivated by theft or the taking of personal belongings.

L'incidente è avvenuto poco dopo le 22 fuori da un locale, quando il gruppo di italiani è stato circondato da una dozzina di persone spagnole. Due degli italiani sono stati colpiti, tra cui Maggiotto, che ha perso i sensi dopo un forte colpo alla testa.
