At least one person is dead and five others wounded after a stabbing rampage at an Italian supermarket.
The incident happened on Thursday evening in a shopping centre south of Milan, when police say a man armed with a knife stabbed a number of people. Local media report that the man stole the knife from the supermarket before the attack.

Local media say he is consious, and has been transported to a nearby hospital, and Monza released a short statement saying "Dear Pablo, we are all here close to you and your family, we love you, keep fighting as you know how to do, you are a warrior and you will get well soon."
Police have arrested a 46-year old Italian man as a suspect in the attack.
At this point the motive is unknown, but Italian authorities said there were no elements to suggest terrorism.
