Roberto Baggio suffered a head injury and went to the hospital.
Robbers broke into the home of legendary Italian footballer Roberto Baggio. The incident happened in the province of Vicenza on Thursday night while the former athlete was watching a Euro football championship match, as reported by Сorriere della Sera.
Upon seeing the group of criminals, Baggio tried to resist but was hit on the head with the gun’s handle. He had a severe cut on his forehead, leading to bleeding.
The bandits locked Baggio and his family in one of the rooms, then took money and valuables from the house. Only after 40 minutes, the footballer’s family managed to escape and call the police. Baggio himself had to go to the hospital, where he received stitches. The criminals are being sought through surveillance cameras.
