Rome: A US student at an American university in Rome was stabbed about 25 times by a fellow student as he slept following Halloween night partying at a club and is hospitalised in serious condition, police said on Thursday.
The alleged assailant, an American-born student with both US and Italian citizenship, was arrested early on Thursday in a Rome apartment near the Colosseum and will likely face a court appearance on Friday, police said. The motive for the attack, which apparently followed a night of alcohol use, wasn't clear.
Police did not immediately release the name of the wounded student, who they said is about 20 years old. San Giovanni hospital, where he was taken, declined to give any details about his condition.
