Yesterday afternoon, October 27, a 46-year-old man, Andrea Tombolini, randomly stabbed several people in the Milano Fiori shopping center in Assago, Milan. According to Ansa, he grabbed a knife from the exhibitor inside the Carrefour supermarket and, without warning, started punching people at random. He killed a 30-year-old supermarket employee and seriously injured 4 other citizens who were not in mortal danger. The victim is Luis Fernando Ruggieri, 47, according to Corriere della Sera.

The attacker would have had a period of hospitalization in the psychiatric ward of a hospital in Lombardy. And a return to the hospital on October 18 for inflicting wounds on his face and skull, punching himself. During the night, the Milanese public prosecutor Paolo Storari questioned the man at length, accused of murder and attempted multiple murder. “He was just screaming,” said Massimo Tarantino, a former Inter player who, along with supermarket security staff and other customers, blocked the assailant handing him over to the army at Corsico station .

In Lombardy, the carabinieri of the provincial command of Milan are working to reconstruct the dynamic, but they exclude for the moment that there could be a terrorist matrix at the base of the gesture. More likely the man was in the throes of a psychic crisis that suddenly exploded. Among the injured was also Pablo Marì, a Spanish player from Monza, who was shopping with his wife and son. Hit by a cut in the back, he would not suffer any major damage.
