Man uses car to ram into students

A French prosecutor says a car that rammed into a group of students in the city of Blagnac was driven by a man known to have “psychiatric” problems.

Pierre-yves Couilleau said that three students were injured yesterday when the motorist drove into the group. Couilleau said the driver claimed he acted deliberately and had been arrested.

BFM television reported that the three people hurt were Chinese students and none of their injuries were considered life-threatening. The prosecutor said the driver was not listed on a French register of people suspected of being radicalised by extremists.
