Italian authorities on Tuesday announced that they identified the alleged attacker who stabbed a 24-year-old Israeli national at Rome's central railway station over the weekend as a homeless Polish man.
After surveying security footage from several angles, the alleged assailant was identified as 24-year-old Alexander Mateusz Chomiak, a Polish homeless person who has been known to frequent the station. He's originally from Grudziadz, a small city in northern Poland.
The attack is being investigated as a potential hate crime, as the victim was wearing a backpack emblazoned with Jewish symbols and Hebrew writing. The attacker was seen wearing a black baseball cap and dark clothes.
