VIDEO: Horror at horse races, man drives car into crowd and injures several people

On Saturday afternoon, a man drove his red car intentionally into a group of spectators at traditional horse races in Bijeljina, near Bileća in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina, injuring three people. According to ATV, one person was seriously injured and required intensive care, while two others had minor injuries. The driver fled the scene after the incident, and police are still searching for him. It is reported that the suspect, identified as Željko Vujović, has a history of criminal activity, including convictions for arson, possession of weapons, and causing bodily harm. In February 2021, he and another individual abducted and assaulted a local resident, which sparked protests among the community.

A man drove his red car into a crowd of spectators during traditional horse races in Bijeljina, near Bileca, southern Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Saturday afternoon, injuring three people, according to reports from local media. The incident occurred after the races had ended and crowds were beginning to disperse. A video circulating online shows the vehicle speeding toward the group before colliding with them. Three individuals were injured, one of whom suffered more severe injuries. The driver fled the scene immediately following the collision. Local police confirmed they are still searching for him, though he was reportedly known to authorities prior to the incident. According to information shared by ATV, the suspect is identified as Željko Vujović, who has a history of criminal activity. He was previously convicted in 2008 for arson, sentenced to three months in prison. In 2011, he received a fine for possession of weapons. He served another three-month term in 2013 for causing bodily harm, and again in 2018 for similar charges. Between 2019 and 2020, he was fined for causing bodily injury. In February 2021, Vujović allegedly participated in a robbery and assault with Marko Zvijer against a 23-year-old named Dušan Milošević from Bileca. After fleeing the scene, he surrendered to police after 12 days. That incident sparked widespread dissatisfaction among locals, leading to multiple protests, as reported by ATV. At the hospital in Trebinje, officials stated that a male patient, born in 1994, was admitted to the intensive care unit with multiple fractures but remained conscious throughout. Two other men were treated on the general ward, suffering less serious injuries. Medical staff confirmed that all three victims were stable, although the severity of the injuries varied. Eyewitness accounts and footage captured on social media show the moment of impact, highlighting the chaotic nature of the event. The red vehicle appears to have lost control or deliberately targeted the gathering, resulting in the collision. Witnesses described confusion and panic as the incident unfolded, with some bystanders attempting to assist the injured while others tried to locate the fleeing driver. Authorities have launched an investigation into the incident, focusing on the motive behind the attack and the circumstances surrounding the driver’s escape. Police have detained two individuals believed to have assisted the suspect in fleeing the scene. These arrests are part of ongoing efforts to track down the perpetrator and determine the full extent of the damage caused. The community in Bijeljina has expressed concern over the safety of public gatherings, particularly during cultural events such as horse racing. Local leaders have called for increased security measures and better coordination between law enforcement and event organizers to prevent similar incidents in the future. Meanwhile, the search for the suspect continues, with police urging anyone with relevant information to come forward.
