Man Drives Into Pedestrians, Then Chases People With Knife In Italy

A driver injured seven people, four of them badly, when he drove on a sidewalk in the northern Italian city of Modena on Saturday and then got out possibly holding a knife, the mayor said.

Early eyewitness accounts said the driver, aged in his 30s apparently "aimed for the sidewalk, hitting a bike, then crashed while slamming head-on into a woman, badly hurt with both legs crushed", mayor Massimo Mezzetti told local media and the ANSA news agency.
