Daily Mail: Moscow taxi driver mows down World Cup fans: Eight injured as Kyrgyzstani migrant swerves out of traffic, mounts pavement and speeds into crowd - before fleeing and being wrestled to ground

* Mexican fans were among those injured in the crash in Ilinka Street, around 200 metres from the Red Square
* Video footage shows the driver mounting the pavement and ramming through pedestrians on the pavement
* Additional footage shows the driver trying to escape the scene on foot and is quickly chased by witnesses
* Police say driver had a Kyrgyzstan driving licence. Two Mexicans, two Russians and Ukrainian hospitalised
* Moscow one of 11 cities in Russia hosting the FIFA World Cup. Mexico to play Germany in the city tomorrow

This is the horrific moment a taxi driver rammed his vehicle through a busy crowd of World Cup football fans, just yards from Moscow's Red Square.

Eight people were injured in the collision but it appears many more were hit. Two Mexicans, two Russians and one Ukrainian were hospitalised.

The two Mexicans injured in the crash were only lightly injured and are in a stable condition, according to the Mexican embassy in Russia. One woman is in a serious condition.

At least one person hit was seen wearing a Mexico kit, with the North American nation due to kick-off their World Cup campaign against Germany in Moscow's Luzhniki stadium tomorrow.

WNU Editor: Russian news is saying that it is/was an accident. But looking at the above video it is clear to me that he did it deliberately, and running away while yelling that he did not do it .... hmmmm .... that is not going to go down well. Russian prison for someone like him .... injuring people a block away from Red Square during the World Cup in a country that loves soccer .... is not going to be a pleasant experience.
