Milan police shot dead a man armed with a big knife who had attacked them and several passers-by overnight, sources said on Tuesday.
The assailant attacked a food-delivery rider and a man who was leaving his apartment building. Both managed to get away, the sources said.
He then repeatedly attacked the police who had arrived on the scene and tried to contain him, prompting one officer to shoot.
The attacker was a 45-year Filipino with a criminal record for crimes against persons and drug dealing, the sources said.
