CAEN, France — French authorities have apprehended a Russian man of Chechen descent following a deliberate car ramming incident in the Normandy port city of Caen, which resulted in the deaths of two men and the injury of nine others. The attack occurred on Wednesday evening, after a dispute between individuals outside a local bar escalated into a confrontation.
The suspect, who was not known to intelligence services and had no prior criminal record, allegedly returned to the scene in his car, deliberately driving into a group of people standing under a bus shelter. The victims included two Afghan men, aged 35 and 28, along with seven others suffering critical injuries and seven more with fractures to their lower limbs.
The nine victims were men aged between 17 and 36, of various nationalities including French, Egyptian, Bangladeshi, and Sudanese. The 26-year-old suspect, who fled the scene, was apprehended the following day in the neighboring town of Ouistreham. During questioning, he claimed to have been the victim of violence at the scene before the incident.
He denied any involvement in alcohol consumption at the time. Authorities have stated that there is no evidence of a terrorist motive behind the attack, though the investigation is still in its early stages.
