Ali Abdella, a 38-year-old Somali , was arrested two days ago on the afternoon of December 31 on sexual assault charges. The episode took place inside the labor room of the Saint Eugenio hospital. The man will be immediately tried with the abbreviated rite. The Somali, after stealing the nurse's clothes in the laundry, reached the premises of the obstetrics department and later sneaked into the labor room. At this point he approached a 43-year-old woman who was about to give birth. At first he positioned himself near her asking for some information on his health. Then he would sit next to the woman, stroking her thigh first and then masturbating.

The woman immediately reacted and hearing the screams came a doctor and two nurses. The Somali sought an escape but was blocked by security men working inside the Saint Eugenio hospital. Immediately after the man was handed over to the policemen who arrived on the spot. During the interrogation, the Somali did not provide explanations for his gesture and limited himself to responding: "Only God knows why I did it". Now his lawyer will ask for a psychiatric report.
