Modena horror: 12 injured after car attack and stabbing rampage in city centre
Up to a dozen people were injured Saturday in Modena, Italy when a crazed driver rammed his car into a crowd at full speed — then got out and stabbed at least one person.
The motive is not yet known, but a terrorist attack is not being ruled out, Italian newspaper La Pressa is reporting.
The man, who was described by witnesses as a North African foreigner in his thirties, zigzagged erratically on Via Emilia around 4:30 pm, mowing down at least four pedestrians.
One woman was crushed between the front end of the car and a shop and was taken to hospital in critical condition, and will likely have both legs amputated, authorities reported.
The knife-wielding maniac tried to run and stabbed at least one person before he was stopped by the crowd, authorities said.
