A woman beat up her ex-husband for bringing their daughter home late and got help in the attack from her new partner and her father, police in this southern Italian town said on Thursday.
The 24-year-old woman, her 58-year-old father and 36-year-old boyfriend face charges of assault after they struck the child's father so hard with a piece of wood that it broke.
The woman's father then took the keys of his former son-in-law's car, forcing him to walk home, police said.
