The driver, described in the press as a man of North African descent, reportedly went on to stab someone before being subdued by bystanders.
At least twelve people have sustained injuries, with four reportedly in critical condition, after a car rammed into them in the Italian city of Modena.
The driver, described by the media as a “highly intoxicated” man of North African descent, was reportedly armed with a knife, and stabbed a person before being subdued by bystanders.
While the motive remains unclear for the time being, terrorism is not being ruled out, according to Italian newspaper La Pressa.
Two of the injured have reportedly been rushed to a hospital by helicopter, with one woman having both legs amputated after being crushed against a wall by the speeding vehicle.
According to the local press, the incident happened at around 4:30 PM in the heart of Modena’s historic center. Eyewitnesses recounted seeing a Citroën C3 that suddenly accelerated to approximately 160 kph (100 mph), and zigzagged through the sidewalk, as reported by the daily Il Messaggero.

The West has fallen 😔
Sadly true.
Not a single European life has been “enriched” by 3rd world migration. It is a detriment to every single nation that attempts it. Always. Every time.
The politicians, business leaders and NGO boards who profit from this wretched fraud on their own people should all be hanged from gallows.
Diversity strikes again…..the globalist scum want to bring this here to NZ…..
