The incident occurred midway through the evening when Finnish thrower Tero Pitkämäki slipped at the end of his run-up, hurling the javelin out to the left of the landing area and spearing Sdiri in his right side as he crouched in the long jump warm-up section.
A medical crew and ambulance were quickly at the scene, but meeting organisers could not say how serious the injury was.
"We will only know after we've carried out further tests in hospital", said the medical officer for the Italian Athletic Federation, Giuseppe Fischetto.
