Multiple people were injured Wednesday after a driver who screamed “Allahu Akbar” after he was arrested drove through pedestrians on an island off the coast of France.
Ten people were injured, with four in critical condition, after the incident on Ile d’Oléron, according to the BBC.
The man drove between two villages, knocking down anyone who did not get out of his way, Thibault Brechkoff, the mayor of Dolus d’Oléron, said.

He abandoned the vehicle and set fire to it before trying to escape, Brechkoff said.
“No one has died, and we are hoping that the injured will recover,” he said, according to GB News.
