Milan Student Attack: Robbers’ Messages After Disability

Milan Stabbing: Teens Charged After Brutal Attack and Disturbing Online Boasts

A 22-year-old Bocconi University student faces permanent injuries after a violent robbery and stabbing in Milan on October 12th, with investigators uncovering chilling post-attack behavior from the five alleged perpetrators. The incident has sparked outrage and renewed debate over safety in the city, following a weekend that saw six reported stabbings.

From Cigarette Request to Savage Assault

The attack unfolded near Corso Como, beginning with a seemingly innocuous request. The victim was approached by a group of five – three 17-year-olds and two 18-year-olds – who initially asked for a cigarette, then for assistance with exchanging money. When the student produced banknotes, one of the group allegedly snatched 50 euros, triggering a chase. The situation quickly escalated into a brutal assault, involving punches, kicks, and ultimately, multiple stab wounds.

one stab wound proved particularly devastating, piercing the victim’s lung and causing significant damage to his spinal cord. He underwent several surgeries, but doctors have resolute he will suffer permanent mobility issues due to damage to his bone marrow and an artery.
