In July, a group of four migrant youths, at least one armed with a machete, terrorized passengers on a train between Milan and Lecco. One young passenger was robbed and suffered injuries to his face. Two of the attackers, both from the Central African Republic, were arrested when the train was halted. The other two were subsequently arrested in other locations in Italy. The case is just now being reported in the Italian press this past week. In the photo above, one of the attackers is trying to pry open the door to a bathroom where one of the passengers has taken refuge. The below article also has video (no sound) from a security camera on the train showing parts of the attack.

Robbery with machete blows on train: Gang in handcuffs
The violence captured on security cameras on the regional train connecting Lecco and Milan: A group of foreign youths is arrested after having attacked and robbed a minor.
Caption: The attack with a machete on the Milan-Lecco train.
Two foreigners, ages 22 and 25, were arrested by Lecco police accused of robbery, aggravated injury, and illegal possession of weapons, after having attacked a man on board a train, striking him with a machete. The alarm was sounded when a boy on board the regional train Lecco-Milan, called the operations room of the Lecco police headquarters, reporting the presence of a foreign man who was threatening passengers brandishing a large machete-type knife.
Robbery with machete blows on train
Agents of the Rail Police, having arrived at the train station of Olgiate Molgora, where, in the meantime, the train was halted, ascertained, also with the help of the Carabinieri of Merate and Brivio, that two non-EU citizens had just robbed a minor, causing injuries to the face using a large knife. The proceeds of the robbery, a cell phone and bag, found on the two foreigners, were returned to the victim, treated at the scene by health workers.
The weapon used to carry out the crime, on the other hand, was recovered hidden between two seats inside the train. The policemen, therefore, placed the two Central Africans under arrest, who were also charged with interrupting public service given that the train resumed its regular route with a 180-minute delay from its normal timetable. Both youths, turned over to the competent judicial authority, were lodged at the detention facility at Lecco.
Four persons arrested
After further investigation, it was ascertained that the band of robbers was composed of a total of four individuals. The third subject, also a foreign youth, and initially reported to be on the loose, was later placed under arrest on July 25, in the area of Riccione, by personnel of the Railway Police subsection of Lecco and the PG Squad of the Railway Police in Lombardy. The last member of the group, who managed to disappear on the night of the incident, was identified by agents of the Railway Police of Lecco subsection, who, during the day of last August 3, in concert with the prosecutor's office in charge of the proceeding, arrested him as a person seriously suspected of a crime, (which was) then validated by the judge of instruction, who also issued an order of preventative custody in jail.
Subsequent investigation by the Lecco Carabinieri also determined the precise responsibility of one of the two Central Africans arrested in the act, who after a dispute for trivial reasons, on the evening of July 6 in Diaz Square in Lecco, struck another youth on the head with a large knife, causing a wound that was treated at the city hospital.

Fousesquawk comment: The good news is that four dangerous criminals have been taken off the streets. The bad news is that their "replacements" keep arriving by the hundreds every day. Thus, these attacks keep occurring. Just days ago, a Nigerian migrant in the northern Italian town of Rovereto beat an elderly woman to death on the street in the middle of the day before he could be subdued by police.
Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was elected primarily to put an end to this mass illegal migration into Italy. Thus far, she has failed.
