A 21-year-old student from the
United States was stabbed twice in the side in central Florence
overnight, sources said on Wednesday.
The young man, who is in Florence for his studies, underwent
an emergency operation at the city's Careggi Hospital.
Medical sources said that, although badly injured, he is
responding positively to treatment and is not in a
life-threatening condition.
He is said to have been attacked from behind by another young
man, possibly from Eastern Europe, with whom he had scuffled
after the man molested his girlfriend.
