[UPDATE] Seems like somewhere between Italy, and Malaysia, someone got confused between Mali, and Malaysia. Italian officials are scrambling to confirm with the Malaysian Embassy in Italy that the man detained was in fact from Mali, not Malaysia. Mali. Like the country in Africa, nowhere near Malaysia.
A 24-year-old Malaysian man was arrested Sunday night in Rome for assaulting a couple that was kissing near an Islamic center in the city.
Shouting, “you can’t kiss here in front of the mosque,” he then became physically violent.
According to police, he is said to have shoved the woman, later punching and kicking the man.
Two officers arrived on the scene, and the man attacked them as well, bruising one.
The unnamed Malaysian now faces charges of assault, as well as resisting a public official. Police will be investigating his radicalization.
Please, nobody show this guy any Fellini movies, k?
