Overview
- A man in his mid‑50s was attacked outside the Bar La Giada in San Siro and suffered about twenty stab wounds to his back and abdomen; he was taken in critical condition to Ospedale Niguarda with reported liver damage and a collapsed lung.
- The assault occurred in the early morning and, according to multiple accounts, the victim and assailant did not know each other, with no apparent provocation identified so far.
- Bystanders and bar customers disarmed and restrained the attacker until Polizia di Stato arrived, with a 38‑year‑old passerby named as one of those who subdued him.
- Police identified the suspect as 22‑year‑old Lamin Saidilly, seized a knife with an approximately 7 cm blade, found motivational or incoherent notes in his wallet, and noted he lived about ten years in the UK and had been away from home for roughly a week.
- The public prosecutor Elio Ramondini is coordinating inquiries into motive and possible psychiatric issues and will seek formal convalidation of the arrest as the victim remains in a reserved, critical condition.
