Three Chinese students were reported to be injured in a car rampage after a driver ploughed into a group of people near the south-western French city of Toulouse. Two of the injured are said to be in serious condition.

French police said the driver had acted "deliberately" and was arrested immediately after the incident.  Unconfirmed resources told media that the driver has suffered from major psychological problems.

The seriously injured students, reported to be aged 22 and 23, were hit on a pedestrian crossing outside IGS College. They have been said to be taken to hospital in Toulouse.
