Milan as Gotham City or as Sin City? By now, any comparison between the city administrated by Beppe Sala and the bloodiest and most violent cinematographic examples seems to be too bland. No day passes in which the news doesn’t tell of rapes, stabbings, fights, or violent robberies, which often, or almost always happen at the hands of illegal immigrants or just foreigners. And it is all so constant (that it) causes a sort of anesthetic effect, capable of attenuating any indignation or amazement even in the face of events of extreme gravity. The latest? A stabbing on a May afternoon in the central square of Gae Aulenti, in the middle of the day, steps away from Corso Como (Blvd.) and the nightlife, in the middle of families and passersby.

It was 7 pm on Saturday afternoon in Milan at the hour of full family activity. Gae Aulenti Square has become one of the centers of shopping and entertainment in the city, and at that hour, before dinner, there are many who choose it for a stroll. Still, just yesterday, it was here that an 18-year-old Egyptian was stabbed by two peers, also North Africans. In fact, it was two other young men of North African origin, who first with punches, then with broken bottles and a knife, brought the other boy to death’s door.

Transported code red to San Gerardo Hospital in Monza. after initial checks, the doctors stabilized him and now the Egyptian is reportedly not in a life-threatening condition, even if his condition remains serious. There are many witnesses who were present at the scene, among passersby and another group of young men who were probably with the two attackers. The Carabinieri of the Duomo Company who intervened after receiving the alarm, arrived a few minutes later, quickly finding the knife used to carry out the attack, but now the hunt for the two young men has begun. Besides listening to the statements of those who were present during the violent attack, the (Carabinieri) are scanning the surveillance camera videos in the area to try to locate and identify the two young men who perpetrated the injury.
