Two illegal migrants were arrested over the weekend in Rome after they were caught by police beating and attempting to rob a woman in her 60s in the vicinity of Termini train station.
The Egyptian migrants approached the woman, who was walking with another woman on the Via Giolitti road, on Sunday afternoon on the south-west side of the train station which serves as the largest in the city, Il Giornale reports.
When one of the women noticed the migrants were attempting to steal her wallet from within her purse, she let out a scream which initially startled the robbers. Immediately after the scream, one of the migrants grabbed the woman and violently threw her to the ground giving her serious injuries, according to police.
