On Saturday, a car drove into pedestrians in Modena, Italy, injuring eight people. The driver was arrested after crashing into a shop and brandishing a knife.
Eight people were injured on Saturday when a car drove into pedestrians in the centre of the northern Italian city of Modena, police and the city’s mayor said.
Police said they arrested the driver, a man in his thirties, and there was no further danger.
Among the injured, four people are in a serious condition, the city mayor, Massimo Mezzetti, told broadcaster RaiNews24.
The driver is an Italian national born in Bergamo, of North African origin, and a resident of the Modena area, the mayor added.
“It seems [the driver] deliberately drove onto the sidewalk, hitting several people and crashing into a shop window. He then got out of his car and brandished a knife,” Mezzetti said.
One man who tried to stop the driver suffered minor injuries, the mayor said.
