A car driver injured several pedestrians in a parking garage at Cologne/Bonn Airport on Friday. He drove towards people in a targeted manner, but they could have avoided him, said a local police spokesman.

No one is in danger of life, the injuries are mostly minor. The 57-year-old driver was arrested and is in the hospital. He is believed to be mentally ill.

"He apparently drove towards several cars and pedestrians, who were able to avoid him," said the spokesman. "We are currently talking about several injuries." Two police officers were also slightly injured because the man resisted his arrest.
