Car crashes into carnaval partygoers

A car intentionally barreled into a group of carnaval partygoers on Sunday night. The group of people were enjoying the festivities in Stampersgat (Noord-Brabant) when the car collided with them. Six people were injured, of whom four had to be brought to hospital. Two suspects have been arrested for attempted homicide. The driver of the car crashed into the partygoers at around half an hour after midnight in the Dennes Leestraat. The culprit drove away after this, but was later apprehended along with another suspect. According to the police, it now seems that there was an argument before the incident. The state of the victims is not yet known.
