Fifteen people were injured in Assam's Silchar town as an allegedly drunk man went on a rampage with his SUV, hitting people, vehicles and whatever else came in his way, before coming to a halt because of a bad road, police said on Saturday.
The incident happened on Friday night, triggering panic in the town, they said.
The SUV first hit three people near the municipal office and, while trying to flee, injured another three at Capital Point. After that, it struck three motorbikes and some e-rickshaws at Trunk Road near the radio station, police said.
As the rampage went on, people started following the SUV on their two-wheelers. The vehicle came to a stop at the Tennis Club Point as it could not move forward due to the bad condition of the road, they said.
Police rushed to the spot and took the car along with the driver into custody, they added.
Several bottles of liquor were found in the car, a police officer said.
"A total of 15 people were injured in the incident," he said.
