    Driver Plows Into Crowd at Mich. Carnival

    Associated Press May 21, 2006

    SOUTHFIELD, Mich. -- A van driver plowed into an inflatable "Moon
    Walk" attraction at a church carnival, injuring at least eight people,
    according to police and news reports.

    The man drove his van into a crowd of people in the parking lot of
    Alex Manoogian School in the suburban Detroit town of Southfield at
    about 2 p.m., police said. The lot was the site of a fair put on by
    St. John's Armenian Church.

    "We tried our best to stop him," said Josep Torossian, principal of
    the high school division at the charter school. "He wouldn't listen to
    me."

    The man fled, but police traced the van to a home in Troy, where he
    was arrested. He was to be arraigned Monday in Southfield, police said
    in a news release.

    At least six children and two adults were treated at nearby Providence
    Hospital, the Detroit News reported.
