A mob of 50 furious Italians stormed a Roma camp outside Naples after a girl suffered an alleged attempted rape by two gypsies.
Dozens of Neapolitans laid siege to the camp, pelting residents with rocks before being restrained by the police.
The following day dozens of the inhabitants of the Poggioreale site, on the eastern outskirts of Naples, decamped.
Entire families fled the site in vans, apparently fearing further attacks.
A 16-year old Italian girl had returned home in a state of agitation, complaining of the alleged attack by two Roma, around 9pm on Tuesday night.
She was taken to hospital in a state of shock.
Relatives of the girl headed for the camp with the intention of ‘punishing’ the perpetrators, before exchanging blows with Roma, leaving them injured.
But hours later they returned, flanked by the vigilante mob, threatening fires and launching rocks at the campsite.
The site’s 250 inhabitants were forced to put up road blocks to defend themselves, and the police eventually managed to restore order.
