A 46-year-old Italian man who stabbed a cashier on Thursday evening and injured four people in a supermarket in a large shopping center in Assago near Milan, has been disarmed by Massimo Tarantin, a former football player (including Inter Milan, Bologna). . The mentally disturbed assailant had grabbed a knife from a supermarket shelf and randomly attacked customers.
According to the initial findings, investigators rule out a terrorist background for the perpetrator. He was treated for depression and mental disorders. Tarantino overpowered the man after the attack in the supermarket and handed him over to the Carabinieri. “He screamed and screamed, he was furious,” the ex-footballer reported.
The dead person is a supermarket worker from Bolivia. French supermarket giant Carrefour has confirmed the death of one of its employees in the attack. The company said it was “deeply appalled” and expressed its condolences to the families of the victims.
Mari needs surgery
Among the injured is Spanish footballer Pablo Marí, who was loaned out by Arsenal FC and plays for Italian first division team Monza Calcio. His life is not in danger, but he will need surgery for abdominal and back injuries.
Monza Calcio turned to his injured defender via Twitter. “Dear Pablo, we are all here close to you and your family, we love you, keep fighting if you can, you are a warrior and you will get well soon,” Monza’s director Adriano Galliani said there. Monza Calcio is owned by former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi.
“He says he was lucky,” said Monza director Adriano Galliani after visiting his player at the clinic. The 29-year-old defender was shopping with his family, including a young son, when he was attacked by the assailant. The knife did not injure any major organs, Galliani reported. Arsenal previously tweeted that the footballer was doing well under the circumstances after he was taken to hospital by helicopter.
