A driver has rammed his car into pedestrians and cyclists on the Ile d’Oléron, off the west coast of France, leaving 10 people hurt including several in a critical condition.
A local man in his mid-30s had deliberately driven into people and he was arrested after being immobilised with a stun gun, authorities said.
The man drove some distance between two villages on the island, mowing down several people including a young girl, the mayor of Dolus d’Oléron Thibault Brechkoff said.
He eventually abandoned his vehicle and tried to set fire to it before running away, Brechkoff said.
