Rising Violence in Milan's Metro

Published: 2025-03-10

Milan's metro system has become a hotspot for violent incidents, sparking concerns over public safety.

In recent days, two teenage girls were victims of separate attacks.

One was sexually assaulted by a 42-year-old man, who was later arrested near Duomo station.

Another girl was slashed in the face during a dispute with a group of youths on the M1 line.

These incidents highlight a growing trend of crime in Milan, which has been Italy's most crime-ridden city for seven years.

Many residents now avoid going out at night, and some neighborhoods rely on private security.

The city's authorities face mounting pressure to address this alarming situation and restore a sense of safety.
