MILAN — A man drove a car into a crowd in the northern Italian city of Modena on Saturday, injuring at least eight people, four of whom were in serious condition, police said.
The driver — a 30-year-old born in Bergamo and of North African origin, who had moved to the province that includes Modena — attempted to flee after the car crashed into a shop window, Modena’s mayor told broadcaster RaiNews24.
As he attempted to flee, the driver was stopped by some pedestrians, one of whom he attacked with a knife and slightly injured. The driver was later arrested by police.
The driver was receiving treatment for psychiatric disorders, a source in the Interior Ministry said, without elaborating on the man’s motivations or whether terrorism was a factor.
Among the injured, four were in serious condition and two were airlifted to a hospital in Bologna, around 40 kilometers from Modena, the city’s mayor, Massimo Mezzetti, told RaiNews24.
