The driver who injured twenty people in Poland on Friday is said to have deliberately driven into the crowd. This was reported by several media outlets citing the prosecutor’s office. The 33-year-old is now being investigated for attempted murder and deliberately causing a catastrophe.
Police say this is not an act of terrorism. The suspected perpetrator initially drove into several people who were waiting at a tram stop on Rodlo Square in the port city of Stettin. He then fled the scene of the accident and shortly afterwards rammed three other vehicles with his car.
A total of twenty people were injured in the incident; authorities say they are between five and 62 years old. Six people are in a “critical” or “serious” condition, according to the hospital where they are being treated. There were initially 19 injured, one person only went to hospital a little later.
The suspect was under psychiatric treatment
The suspect is from Stettin and has been receiving psychiatric treatment for four years. Criminal proceedings were initiated against the 33-year-old for attempted murder and deliberately causing a catastrophe.
