A dramatic incident shook Lausanne on Saturday during a pro-Palestinian demonstration.
A 56-year-old local driver allegedly accelerated toward the crowd near the Chauderon Bridge.
Witnesses described panic as the BMW roared past buses and forced its way through about a hundred seated protesters, many with children.
Fortunately, no serious injuries were reported, though two people were slightly hurt.
Police say the driver ignored orders to stop and continued at reduced speed before being arrested nearby. Videos shared on social media show the car using the wrong lane and pushing into the gathering.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office has opened an investigation for possible endangerment.
