Policeman, soldier stabbed in Milan

A man of North African origin has stabbed an army officer and a policeman at the main train station in Italy's second city Milan, Italian newspapers have reported.

Both men were taken to hospital, one with a wound to his arm and the other with a wound to the neck, but neither was in a "worrying" condition, the newspapers La Repubblica and Corriere della Sera said.

They said the suspect had been detained by police, and had been arrested in the past for drug-related offences.
