PARIS: French police arrested a man on Sunday evening after he deliberately mowed down a dozen pedestrians in the eastern city of Dijon, badly injuring two of them, authorities said.
The previous day, French police in central France shot dead a man who stabbed and wounded three officers in a police station.
The Dijon driver, in his forties, slammed his car into groups of pedestrians in five parts of the city before he was arrested and held for questioning, a spokesman for the Interior ministry said on BFM TV.
Eleven people were injured, two of them seriously, but their lives were not at risk, local authorities said.
