Insulted and beaten on the beach in front of the other bathers by two people who wanted to turn him away because of color. It happened on Saturday on the beach of Castiglione della Pescaia (Grosseto). Victim, as reported by the local press today, Mamady Dabakh Mankara, a 25-year-old Senegalese who has lived in Italy for 4 years and has been hired for over a year in a cooperative in Grosseto that deals with disabled children.
The man had just laid his towel under a gazebo when he was apostrophized with racist insults from a neighbor and invited to leave. Then the physical attack, during which a second man also intervened. The 25-year-old received two punches that caused him injuries that were deemed curable in seven days. "Saturday - says the 25-year-old - we arrived on the free beach and we spread the towels under the gazebo that the Municipality makes available to everyone. There were two men who started to threaten me to leave. They hit me." The carabinieri arrived on the scene and took the generals of the attackers. "Then they wanted to make peace and invited me to lunch - he adds -, and that's the thing that offended me most". Mankara filed a complaint and the Il Sole Foundation, the social cooperative where he works, could become a civil party in a possible trial.
