Tokyo: A man was arrested in the Japanese city of Osaka after allegedly ploughing his car deliberately into seven schoolchildren on Thursday, local media said.
The children, who had been on their way home from school, were injured and rushed to hospital but all seven remained conscious, public broadcaster NHK and other outlets said.
Police could not immediately confirm the reports to AFP.
The driver was a 28-year-old man who lives in Tokyo and Osaka police have held him on suspicion of attempted murder, the reports said, citing unidentified investigative sources.
NHK said the man admitted the charges to police and stated that he was "fed up with everything, so he rammed the car into them thinking to kill someone".
