A 26-year-old man from Mali was shot and killed by the authorities at Verona’s Porta Nuova train station early on Sunday morning after attacking a police officer with a knife.
The attack has reignited an ongoing debate about rising migrant crime in the Italian city with one local lawmaker calling a recent spate of incidents the “order of the day.”
According to Corriere del Veneto, the man had caused significant disturbances throughout the night, including breaking a station window and assaulting local police officers. After being chased off temporarily, he returned to the station around 7 a.m., where he attacked a transport police officer.
