Quindi luomo che aveva lo spirito maligno si avvent su di loro e, sopraffattili, fece loro tal violenza che fuggirono da quella casa, nudi e feriti.
E l’uomo che avea lo spirito maligno si avventò a loro; e sopraffattili, fece loro forza; talchè se ne fuggiron di quella casa, nudi e feriti.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the man in whom the evil spirit was,.... Being agitated by him:
leapt upon them; with great agility and force, and laid hold on them, and struggled with them, and beat and wounded them, and stripped them naked:
and overcame them, and prevailed against them; the Alexandrian copy, Beza's most ancient one, and some others, and the Vulgate Latin version read, "and overcame both"; as if only two of these seven sons had made this attempt, and were so used; though the Ethiopic version reads, "and overcame them all"; all the seven sons:
so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded; having their clothes tore off, and their bodies beat and bruised.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Leaped on them - Several such instances are recorded of the extraordinary power and rage of those who were possessed with evil spirits, Mark 5:3; Mark 9:29; Luke 9:42.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Acts 19:16. And the man in whom the evil spirit was, c.] Thus we find that one man was more powerful than these seven brothers so that he stripped them of their upper garments, and beat and wounded the whole! Was not this a proof that he derived his strength from the evil spirit that dwelt in him?
