Intruder tries to visit Berlusconi
A YOUNG man with mental problems managed yesterday to reach the hospital floor where Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi was recovering from an attack, and police were questioning him.
A Milan anti-terrorism police official said the man "wanted to pay a visit on the premier at 2am" yesterday and made it to the entrance of the seventh floor of Milan's San Raffaele Hospital where Berlusconi, 73, and other patients were being treated.
Police questioned the 26-year-old Turin man at Milan police headquarters but planned to release him, saying he apparently is a supporter of the premier. A search of the man's parked car found "hockey sticks and kitchen knives," the official said. The suspect apparently plays hockey, but he will be cited for transporting the knives without justification, the official said.
The man, whose identity was not immediately released, was unarmed when he reached the seventh floor.
Berlusconi was struck in the face with a statuette on Sunday night as he signed autographs at a rally in Milan. The attack broke his nose and two teeth and cut his lips. Police said the attacker, Massimo Tartaglia, a Milan man suffering years of psychological problems, has been detained. Doctors were expected to examine the premier and media mogul before discharging him late last night.
The attack, which shocked Italians, came as Berlusconi is fending off a sex scandal and legal troubles.
