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 Rossano, southern Italy 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.
