As he prepares to have back surgery after being stabbed in a supermarket, Mari said he was lucky.
A man died and at least five others were injured when he started attacking people in Assago.
The suspect was taken into custody by police.
Mari said that she was lucky because she saw a person die in front of her.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Mari was stabbed in the back while walking with his family in the supermarket.
The Italian outlet reported that the attacker was disarmed by a group of people.
I'm not a hero, that's for sure." The man is quoted by the paper as saying that he did not do anything special.
Mari's injuries are not life threatening, according to his agent, who told the BBC on Thursday that the player was conscious.
Mari will go under the knife on Friday.
Adriano Galliani, the president of Monza, visited Mari along with the head coach of the team.
He told me that he's going to be back in training on Monday. I gave him greetings from everyone.
It was not possible for his teammates to come here.
Mari joined Udinese on loan at the beginning of the year after playing 19 times for the Gunners.
In August, he was sent to Monza.
"I just found out after the game," Arteta said. I know that the technical director of the club has been in touch with Mari's family. He is in the hospital but seems to be fine.
