At least one person has died with five others injured in a stabbing in a supermarket in Assago, Milan, in Italy.
Pablo Mari, Arsenal’s player who is currently on loan at Monza FC, was among those injured in the attack which started at around 4pm on Thursday.
According to local reports, a 46-year-old suspect has been detained with the authorities ruling out a terrorist motive for the attack.
The attacker, who reportedly has mental health problems, had grabbed the weapon from the supermarket shelf and stabbed people at random before he was apprehended by customers who handed him over to the police.
A 30-year-old cashier at the supermarket was killed while Mari and four others suffered injuries.
According to BBC, the Spanish footballer suffered a stab wound to the back – but his injuries are not life-threatening.
He had been shopping with his wife and young son when the attack took place.
Meanwhile, Arsenal, in a statement on the club’s website, said the 29-year-old was taken to the hospital where further treatment is being administered.
