Italy stabbing: One dead and Arsenal player Pablo Mari among several injured

One person has died and at least five others have been injured in a stabbing in Italy. 

The stabbing took place in a supermarket and local media reported a 30-year-old cashier died after a man started attacking people in Assago – near Milan. 

Of those injured, some seriously include football player Pablo Mari, who is on loan from Arsenal. 

A man, 46, has been detained. Police have ruled out terrorism and instead suggest the attacker has had mental health problems and had grabbed the weapon from the supermarket shelves. 

He is said to have started stabbing people at random at about 18:30 local time at a Carrefour in a local shopping centre.

Screams were heard inside the centre, and the attacker was detained by several customers and then handed over to the police when they arrived, according to reports.
