Mow the infidels down with your vehicle, then jump out with a knife or gun.

It's kind of like, pray the Rosary everyday, and go to frequent confession.

Except not.

Italy: ‘North African’ Arrested After Driving at Police, Stabbing Officer 

A “North African” migrant has attempted to ram police with a car in a southern Italian town Wednesday, before attacking and injuring an officer with a knife. 

Italian press said the attack in the Railway neighbourhood of Foggia “recalls the dynamics” of Wednesday’s attack in Westminster, London, which saw three people killed. 

According to Repubblica, the “African citizen” failed to stop at a police checkpoint and ran over the foot of an officer. As he attempted to escape in his vehicle, he crashed into a parked lorry. 

He then emerged from the immobilised car and launched a knife attack on officers, stabbing and wounding one in the hand. 

The attack in London also began with a man ramming police officers and members of the public with a vehicle, before crashing his car and stabbing an officer. 

There was a third similar attack on Thursday in Antwerp, Belgium. A “French-Tunisian” man drove his car into a crowd on a busy shopping street, forcing pedestrians to jump out of the way. He was stopped by police before he could harm more people, and weapons including knives were found in his car. 

Commenting on Wednesday’s suspected attack in Italy, Franco Landella, the mayor of Foggia, said the Railway neighbourhood’s high migrant population presented acute security challenges. 

He described it as “an ugly incident that could have had far worse consequences had it not been for the sense of responsibility and experience of our local police”. 

Adding: “Unfortunately, the context in which all this was done forcefully recalls the issue of security of the Railway district, also and especially with reference to the massive presence of foreign citizens.” 

The president of the city council, Luigi Miranda, said: “The wounding of an officer of the Municipal Police of Foggia is a very serious matter.” 

According to Foggia Today, he added: “The brutal episode highlights the situation in the Railway neighbourhood and the situation of constant danger in which the traffic police must operate.”

The man, who is now in custody, is apparently "29 years old and originally from the suburbs of Lyon." The authorities aren't saying anything else for the moment.

However, Le Figaro is reporting that one of the imams of the mosque said that the car attacker was a maghrébine (of North African origin). Fdesouche claims that witnesses heard him scream "Allah (or Allahu) Akbar!"

The end of the attack, where the injured driver drives his car into a ditch after being shot by soldiers, was caught on video:

Friday afternoon, four soldiers--part of "Operation Sentinel" opened fire on a car, bearing down on them, while they were on duty in the parking lot of the great mosque of Valence (Drôme) in the Fontbarlettes neighborhood. "At high speed," the vehicle, a red Peugeot 307 station wagon registered in Savoie, deliberately drove into them ", say the police. According to them, there is no doubt that it was an intentional act, since after that the soldiers had "averted" the first attempt, the car "backed up and tried to hit them again.

The driver of the vehicle, "of North African origin," according to one of the imams of the mosque, was seriously wounded in the arm and leg, police have confirmed. He was transported to hospital.

A man coming out of the mosque was injured in the calf from a stray bullet, stated police and prefecture of the Drôme. One of the soldiers was also hospitalized. He was hit by the vehicle and injured his knee and tibia, but his prognosis is not serious.
