Milan fan nabbed in Rome bar stabbing

(ANSA) - Rome, May 23 - Rome prosecutors on Monday requested 19-year-old Milan supporter Kevin Pirola remain in custody on attempted murder charges after he stabbed two people in a Rome bar in the aftermath of the Juventus-Milan Italian Cup final. Investigators say the young man was part of a group of football ultras who got off from three coaches carrying Milan supporters in Via Leone IV near the Vatican and attacked a lounge bar with clubs and knives. The two victims, aged 26 and 40, sustained serious but not life-threatening injuries. A preliminary investigations judge will rule after questioning the suspect at some point between Tuesday and Wednesday. Witness statements by some of the bar customers led to Pirola's arrest. Investigations continue into the others behind the attack.
