An Italian man was stabbed
while sticking up posters for the tiny leftist Power to the
People party for the March 4 general election in Perugia on
Wednesday.
The 37-year-old was not badly hurt, local sources said.
The incident happened on the outskirts of the Umbrian city.
Police are trying to reconstruct what happened, local sources
said.
They were called to the scene by an anonymous phone tip-off
reporting a scuffle, sources said.
The victim said he had been surrounded by a group of people
and stabbed three times, while another man who was with him was
hit on the head.
Both men were treated in hospital and have already been
discharged.
