Italy: 4 American Jews Attacked by Pakistani in Milan

Milan’s Central Train Station is noted for its Mussolini-era fascist architectural facade. In short, it is an ugly building. In the 1980s, when I was living in Milan, I had many an occasion to be in that building. In those days, it was considerably safer than it is today. Now it is a hangout for various and sundry illegal migrants from shaky countries like Pakistan, and crime is a big problem.

So it was three days ago when 4 American Jews were waiting to board a train and were set upon by a 25-year-old Pakistani man who had just arrived on another train. Seeing what were apparently Jews by their appearance or dress, he allegedly set upon one of them with kicks and punches as well as striking him on the head with a blunt object. Needless to say, the Pakistani man, who, according to the article below, had a previous criminal record in Italy, was quickly arrested. The injured victim was taken to a local hospital, but his injuries are not considered serious.

Just another day in Milan.

The man, with a prior criminal record, had just arrived on another train. He first addressed the group, then he attacked them. The victim’s injuries are not serious.

This afternoon at the Milan Central Train Station, police arrested a 25-year-old Pakistani man with a prior criminal record for aggravated assault with personal injuries based on racial, ethnic, and religious discrimination. According to what has been reconstructed by Ansa (National Press Agency Association), the man allegedly went after a group of American Jews waiting to take a train near track 8. The young Pakistani man allegedly attacked one of them, violently striking him with kicks and punches, then on the head with a blunt object. At that point, the Railway Police officers arrived, stopped him, and placed him under arrest. A state railway security employee had alerted them, after being advised by some travelers who noticed what was happening. Some of them, reportedly, initially attempted to protect the man who was attacked.

Cold-hearted attack and police intervention

The Railway Police patrol, a short distance away, immediately intervened and stopped the attacker. As shown by the video surveillance cameras, the police then verified that the man, upon seeing the group trying to check the train schedule on the departure board, had first begun to shout at them, then violently attacked the victim with punches and kicks, injuring his head. The injured person was taken to Fatebenefratelli Hospital, but not in serious condition. The arrested Pakistani man, who had just arrived in Milan on board a train, was arrested.
