GUWAHATI, Nov 12: A 62-year-old man has been arrested for killing at least 35 people and injuring 43 others after he drove his car into a crowd at a sports centre in the country’s southern city of Zhuhai in Guangdong province, reports said.

The accused, surnamed Fan, reportedly drove a small SUV into the Zhuhai Sports Centre as people tried to flee to save themselves.

He was arrested while trying to flee but is currently in a coma as a result of self-inflicted wounds, the reports added.

The accused was reportedly unhappy with the outcome of a property settlement following his divorce, reports said, that triggered his decision to drive into the crowd.
