Rome, 16 May (LaPresse) – "What happened today in Modena, where a man ran over several pedestrians and then allegedly stabbed a passer-by, is extremely serious. I extend my sympathies to those injured and their families. I would also like to thank the members of the public who courageously intervened to stop the perpetrator, and the police for their response.
