The government statement called the attack a “malicious case of intentional driving” and said a man had been taken into custody. An investigation has begun, the statement said, but there was no mention of terrorism as a possible motive.
政府聲明稱這次襲擊是“故意駕車傷人惡性案件”，并表示一名男子已被拘留。聲明說，調(diào)查已經(jīng)開始，但沒有提到恐怖主義是可能的動(dòng)機(jī)。
The injured were taken to hospitals; at least three were in serious condition. 傷者被送往醫(yī)院，至少3人情況嚴(yán)重。
