(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 8 - A 16-year-old boy was arrested in Pescara in Abruzzo on charges of bullying a 14-year-old boy whom he allegedly head-butted a month ago, breaking his nose.
    Agents from the Pescara Flying Squad arrested the 16-year-old in execution of a pre-trial detention order issued by a preliminary investigations judge (GIP) at the request of the L'Aquila Juvenile Prosecutor's Office.
    Police acted on "serious suspicions of guilt for attempted and aggravated extortion and injuries against a 14-year-old boy, who had already been the victim of bullying acts spread on social networks", judicial sources said.
    Police deemed it necessary to detain him in prison not only for the serious offences, but also for having "acted by attributing himself a position of supremacy in the local youth community", the sources said. (ANSA).
