After causing panic among passers-by, he headed toward a group of people in front of the station, threatening them and brandishing a piece of glass. The victim, who was hit in the face, was immediately rescued and transported to the Arcispedale Santa Maria Nuova, where he underwent surgery for the serious injuries he sustained.
