Porto Alegre, Brazil:
A motorist drove his car through a pack of more than 100 cycling activists in southern Brazil, sending bikes and screaming riders flying through the air and landing hard on the road.
At least 40 cyclists were injured during the incident on Friday, with most suffering cuts and broken bones, but nobody was killed, authorities said.
Police said the suspect, whose name they did not release, fled the scene of the incident on Friday evening in Porto Alegre.
He was brought in for questioning on Monday after authorities found his abandoned car over the weekend.
Montenegro also said the number of people hit and injured rose to 40. Previously, police said 16 people were hurt.
Henrique Freitas, one of the cyclists that witnessed the incident, spoke to the media on Monday and said some of the cyclists chased the driver following the incident.
"We saw the car as it drove away and me and some friends, who were still able to peddle on their bikes went after the driver. We had to drive through a number of bikes on the ground," he added.
