Mass Sexual Assaults Reported in Milan

A violent incident outside the Alcatraz nightclub in Milan involved a young couple being attacked by a group of 10-12 men, resulting in one arrest. The assailants attempted to rob the couple, leading to a sexual assault on the 19-year-old woman. A 36-year-old Egyptian man was arrested with the assistance of nightclub security and is charged with attempted robbery and sexual assault, while authorities continue to search for the other suspects. This event follows a series of alarming sexual assault reports in Milan, including a New Year's Eve incident where two British tourists were among the victims of a mob attack in Piazza Duomo. In both cases, the assailants were described as North Africans, raising concerns about public safety related to migrant groups. Investigations are ongoing as law enforcement seeks to address the growing issue of sexual violence in the city.
