A migrant from Guinea was arrested
after trying to stab a policeman near Milan's central rail
station Monday.
The officer, who was protected by his bullet-proof vest,
sustained a slight wound, sources said.
The man had been reported for trying to get on a tourist
coach armed with a knife, they said.
The aggressor, who is being tested to see if he had taken
drugs, was named as 31-year-old Saidou Mamoud Diallo.
He had been served an order of expulsion from Italy, issued
in Sondrio on July 4.
He also had a record of violence, threats and resisting
arrest.
The incident spurred anti-immigrant Northern League MP Paolo
Grimoldi to call for "mass expulsions" of migrants.
"Is (Interior Minister Marco) Minniti going to wake up or is
he going to wait for a dead body?" he asked.
