A car ploughed into pedestrians in the French city of Caen late Wednesday, killing one person and injuring 10 others, including seven critically. Police detained a 26-year-old man after he fled the scene, while prosecutors said the incident was not currently being treated as terrorism.
By: FRANCE 24 A man drove a car into a group of people in northwestern France late on Wednesday, killing one and wounding 10 before being detained, multiple sources said.
The incident at around 10:15 pm (2015 GMT) in the city of Caen was not thought to have a terrorist motive, the deputy prosecutor said.
It left seven people in a critical condition and three with minor injuries, according to local prefect David Claviere.
The ramming is thought to have occurred after a fight , a police source said, with Claviere saying the car "deliberately drove into pedestrians in the street opposite the train station".
The suspect, a 26-year-old man born in Russia , was not known to intelligence services but was known to the police "only for traffic offences", Claviere said.
He fled the scene but was later apprehended in Ouistreham, around 20 kilometres (12.5 miles) away, the police source said.
All of the victims seemed to be men aged between 17 and 40, Bruno Coutanceau, a top security official for Caen, told AFP.
Police had opened an investigation on charges of murder and aggravated assault, according to the deputy prosecutor.
"For the moment, we are not dealing with a terrorist motive, but the investigation is only just beginning," he said, declining to give details on the deceased man's identity.
