(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 9 - A ticket inspector was attacked on a train connecting Milan to Mortara after she asked a passenger to extinguish his cigarette, investigative sources said Saturday.
    The inspector, a 48-year-old woman, on Friday night was slapped in the face by the young passenger, described as being of African origin, who fled when the train reached the station of Mortara near Pavia.
    Carabinieri police at the station of Mortara were unable to track down the man.
    An eight-hour strike of railway workers was held across Italy on Tuesday after a ticket inspector working on a regional train was stabbed near the Liguria station of Rivarolo.
    The strike was organized to demand more security on the job after "a long series of attacks" over the past few months against railway personnel by labour unions Filt Cgil, Fit Cisl, Uiltrasporti, Ugl Ferrovieri, Fast Confsal and Orsa Trasporti.
