Overview
- Anna Laura Valsecchi, 43, was stabbed around 9 a.m. in Piazza Gae Aulenti and is hospitalized at Niguarda with a reserved prognosis but not in imminent danger.
- Surveillance footage authorized by the Milan Prosecutor’s Office and released by the Carabinieri shows the assailant approach from behind, shift a shopper bag between hands, strike with his left hand, and walk away at a normal pace.
- The identikit describes a man aged roughly 50 to 60 with graying short hair, wearing a light-blue hooded sporty jacket, black track pants, black sneakers, and carrying a backpack and a fluorescent green shopper bag.
- Investigators report no established motive and say all lines of inquiry remain open, including the possibility of revenge or that the suspect could be unhoused.
- Witness accounts do not cover the moment of the attack or the escape in the busy square, and authorities are seeking tips to identify the man seen in the images.
