A man deliberately drove his vehicle into pedestrians near a bar in Caen, western France, on Wednesday night, killing one person and injuring 10 others before authorities detained him, according to multiple sources.<\/h3>\n

At around 10:15pm local time, the vehicle deliberately struck pedestrians on a public road opposite the city\u2019s railway station, Calvados Prefect David Clavi\u00e8re said after arriving at the scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe toll is heavy, as we have one person who has died, seven people in critical condition and three others in serious condition,\u201d Clavi\u00e8re said.<\/p>\n

According to a police source cited by Agence France-Presse, the deadly incident followed an argument.<\/p>\n

The driver fled the scene but authorities detained him in Ouistreham, around 20 kilometres from the location of the incident.<\/p>\n

The suspect was born in Russia and is not known to intelligence services, Prefect Clavi\u00e8re said. Police had previously dealt with him, but only over traffic violations.<\/p>\n

Authorities have launched an investigation and are examining security camera footage to establish exactly what happened.<\/p>\n

The prosecutor\u2019s office in Caen said the alleged attacker is 26 years old.<\/p>\n
