A 34-year-old Trenitalia train conductor, Alessandro Ambrosio, was found stabbed to death near the parking lot in the western courtyard of Bologna station. The railway police, the forensic police, and the Flying Squad, along with the medical examiner, were on the scene, coordinated by prosecutor Michele Martorelli.
It happened shortly before 7 p.m. The train conductor—who works on medium- and long-distance trains— was on his way to the station's employee parking lot on Viale Pietramellara when he was stabbed in the abdomen. An Italo employee found him on the ground and notified the railway police.

Investigators from the Police Flying Squad are conducting a relentless search and investigation to locate the attacker. Suspicion is now focused on one individual: Jelenic Marin, a 36-year-old Croatian, who reportedly has a history of assaults and other problems at police stations.

What happened, Bologna Mayor Matteo Lepore said, is " a very serious act. We are waiting to understand what happened, but in the meantime, I would like to express our sympathy, at such a painful time, to the family and colleagues of the young train conductor found dead near the Piazzale Ovest parking lot of the station. We trust in the work of the investigating authorities," he concluded, "and we offer our full availability for whatever assistance is deemed useful to the investigation."

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini, said he was "deeply saddened" by the incident, expressing "heartfelt sympathy to the victim's family and his colleagues," and explaining that he was "in constant contact with the law enforcement agencies who are investigating." In a statement, the minister also "confirmed his determination to increase the number of FS Security uniformed men and women to 1,500 to guard trains and stations."
