BBC: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At least one person has been killed and 10 people injured after a car crashed into a group of people near a train station in northern France, police say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A male suspect was later arrested after authorities launched a major emergency response in Caen, in the Normandy region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local prefect David Claviere said seven of those injured were in a critical condition and three more had minor injuries, AFP reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident took place near a bar, with local media reporting that a fight had broken out there before the incident took place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“For the moment, we are not dealing with a terrorist motive, but the investigation is only just beginning,” said Bruno Coutanceau, a top security official for Caen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All of the victims appeared to be men between the ages of 17 and 40, he told AFP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Claviere said that the car “deliberately drove into pedestrians in the street opposite the train station”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suspect, a 26-year-old man born in Russia, was later arrested around 20km (12 miles) away in the port town of Ouistreham.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He was not previously known to intelligence services and police had been aware of him “only for traffic offences”, Claviere said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Social media videos from the scene appeared to show crowds gathering around police cars and ambulances, where a large area was cordoned off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A spokesperson for the local administration of Calvados told the BBC that some of those injured were receiving treatment in the emergency ward of a nearby hospital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Police have opened an investigation into the incident, which will be led by detectives from Caen’s Specialised Crime Division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Locals have been told to avoid the area around the Caen train station.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
