Pablo Mari Survives a Shocking Stabbing Incident

In a bizarre twist of fate, Pablo Mari, the 29‑year‑old centre back currently on loan from Arsenal to Monza, was stabbed on Thursday (October 27) in a shopping mall in Assago, just outside Milan. The event took place inside a supermarket where a man‑made frenzy unfolded, leaving one fatality and several injuries.

What Went Down

  • Victim – The 47‑year‑old Bolivian employee of the supermarket took the fatal blow.
  • Injuries – Four customers, including Mari, and another employee were all hurt. Mari’s stretcher‑ride to the hospital raised eyebrows, but the news from his agent says it’s none of a plain‑vanilla fashion—his injuries are not serious.
  • Suspect – A 46‑year‑old man has been jailed, but authorities are still chewing over the motive. Did some “shop‑cart drama” spiral into a real‑life horror show? No clue yet.

Responses from the Football World

Monza’s own CEO, Adriano Galliani, tried to keep the gloom at bay with a timely Tweet: “Pablo has a fairly deep wound on his back, but lucky for him it didn’t hit any vital organs like lungs. He’s not in danger—he’ll be back on the pitch soon!”

Far from the Italian streets, Arsenal’s executive director, Edu, and manager Mikel Arteta sent messages of calm reassurance:

  • Edu: “We’re hearing from Pablo’s agent—he’s in the hospital and not seriously hurt.”
  • Arteta: “Just found out—Edu is in touch with his family. He’s in the hospital, and all looks good.”

Stirring the Community

Galliani’s family‑friendly tweets broadcast a wave of support: “Dear Pablo, we’re all here, loving you. Stay strong—you’re a true warrior and will recover swiftly.

Bottom Line

While the detective agency is still piecing the puzzle together, the football fraternity is rallying behind Mari with heartfelt messages and a promise that he’ll rise again. The unsettling knife‑fight reminds us that danger can be lurking even in a quiet supermarket aisle. Yet, for now, the wind seems kinder to our defender; he “gets well soon,” we all pray.
