The Italian, a previous offender originally from Frascati, was arrested on Friday after being caught on CCTV footage stabbing the Russian man in the chest on a street in the capital’s Prenestino district, La Repubblica reported.
The pair is said to have crossed paths as they returned from a music event to mark the May Day holiday.
