Italian police have reportedly arrested a man for attempted murder after he used a bidet as a weapon during a fight.



The unusual incident took place after a football game between neighbouring children in Pozzuoli, near Naples, degenerated into a shouting match when one player accused another of a particularly dirty foul.

The argument worsened and became violent when the boys’ parents stepped in to defend their sons.

Just as police officers arrived on the scene in the seaside town in southern Italy, Domenico Cammarota, 45, the father of one of the boys, threw a bidet out of the window of his apartment, hitting another father in the street below on the head.

The injured man, who was knocked unconscious by the flying bathroom appliance, was taken to hospital, while Cammarota – who was already known to the police – was jailed, according to Il Messaggero daily.
