At least 35 people were killed and 43 more injured after a car ploughed into a crowd of people exercising outside a stadium in Zhuhai, China, on Monday, according to authorities, the BBC reports.
A 62-year-old male driver, surnamed Fan, is alleged to have driven an SUV into Zhuhai Sports Centre in what local police described as a “serious and vicious attack”. Chinese media reported that many elderly people, as well as teenagers and children, were among the injured.
Fan was arrested while trying to flee, police said, and is currently in a coma as a result of self-inflicted wounds.
The incident took place despite heightened security in the city, which is hosting a major civil and military airshow.
