A woman was stabbed numerous times Thursday morning on a Turin-Rome train between the stations of Reggio Emilia and Bologna. The woman, who worked for a contractor providing food and drink on the high-speed service, was intubated and taken to hospital in serious condition. Police took the suspected attacker, a cleaner, into custody at the Bologna train station thanks to the cooperation of some passengers.
A passenger was also injured in the attack, reportedly after intervening to defend the woman. Sources said it appeared the attacker and victim knew each other.
