Local newspaper Corriere della Sera reports that he was walking on San Gimignano Avenue near a Jewish School and restaurant when he was accosted by a group of three Arabs – one of them possibly a woman – and was stabbed repeatedly in his back, chest and face.



He was rushed to the Niguarada Hospital and was listed in ‘yellow’ [moderate] condition and is expected to survive.
