Palermo, tentò di rapinare un uomo ferendolo al volto: arrestato un giovane di 23 anni

Explain to me briefly the following article:

The Carabinieri of the operational unit of the Palermo Piazza Verdi Company carried out a precautionary custody order in prison, issued by the judge for preliminary investigations of the Palermo court, at the request of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, against a 27-year-old Palermo man accused of attempted murder of a neighbor.

The incident took place one afternoon in early April, in the area of Via Umberto Maddalena. The suspect, after another heated argument with a neighbor – possibly sparked this time by a “” – allegedly attacked the 54-year-old man who was leaving from behind, brutally hitting him repeatedly on the head and the rest of the body with a hoe. The victim, transported to the “Ingrassia” Hospital with serious head and limb injuries, was hospitalized in serious condition and underwent delicate surgery.

The investigation, developed immediately after the incident with traditional methods, outlined the picture of circumstantial severity – writes the police in a statement – which led to the issuance of the precautionary measure against the 27-year-old who was transferred to the “Lorusso Pagliarelli” prison in Palermo.
