Italian Life Senator Elena Cattaneo
had her bag snatched on the Milan metro on Wednesday, local
sources said.
The 59-year-old pharmacologist and stem-cell researcher was in
Milan's central rail station and was walking along the gap
between the green and yellow COVID lines when she realised that
a woman was pulling her purse out of her bag.
Cattaneo tried to stop the woman, describe as aged between 40
and 50, but was pushed to the ground.
The thief managed to make away with the wallet while Cattaneo
was taken to hospital with a bruised leg.
