A migrant from Guinea who tried to
stab a policeman near Milan's central rail station Monday will
be deported later Thursday, official sources said.
Saidou Mamoud Diallo, 31, will be expelled by the Milan
police immigration office.
Diallo's temporary release caused a row Wednesday.
Diallo's intended victim, who was protected by his
bullet-proof vest, sustained a slight wound.
Diallo, who had a record for violence, threats and resisting
arrest, had previously been reported for trying to get on a
tourist coach armed with a knife.
He had been served an order of expulsion from Italy, issued
in Sondrio on July 4.
The incident spurred anti-immigrant Northern League MP Paolo
Grimoldi to call for "mass expulsions" of migrants.
