A train conductor was attacked by a ticket-less passenger near Arezzo in Tuscany on Saturday, his company TFT said Monday.
It is the latest in a string of assaults on transport staff across Italy including a train ticket inspector who was stabbed near Genoa last week.
On Saturday the railwayman was first punched in the face and then pepper-sprayed, TFT said.
His alleged assailant is a 30-something asylum seeker, Carabinieri said.He was tracked down and cited Sunday.
