At least 84 people have been killed and more than 200 injured in an attack in the French city of Nice on Thursday evening. A man had rammed his truck into crowds of people out celebrating Bastille Day. No group has yet claimed responsibility, but prosecutors said it bore the hallmarks of terrorism.
Terror on the French Riviere caught on amateur video.
Hundreds of people fleeing a 19-ton truck that turned a chic Riviera promenade into a trail of the dead and dying.
They were celebrating France's national holiday, Bastille Day.
Then a renegade truck started mowing people down-turning the party into nightmare.
"We were dancing, and suddenly everybody, like, was running and screaming and I didn't know what happened so we just ran. We ran to a bar and they helped us, we stayed there in the basement for four hours," a witness said.
The truck only came to a halt after police shot the driver though the windshield, killing him.
French officials identified the attacker as 31 year-old Mohamed Lahouaiej Bouhlel-a French-Tunisian, who lived in this ordinary looking flat.
A divorced father of three, police say Bouhlel had record of petty crime, but he wasn't on a terrorism watch list.
French officials say his actions bore the hallmarks of Islamist radicalization.
"Although yesterday's attack has not been claimed, I would like to remind you that this type of action fits in perfectly with the constant calls for murder from such terrorist organizations, which they regularly ask for in the many texts and videos they circulate," said Francois Molins, French Prosecutor.
Among the victims-Americans, Russians and Swiss.
After visiting survivors on Friday, French President Francois Hollande said dozens hovered between life and death.
A two kilometer stretch of the Promenade des Anglais remained closed as police examined the scene-flowers piled up at the police tape in this city in mourning.
Tourists usually flock to Nice seafront in July to enjoy the sun, sea and sand. Now mourners are coming here to lay their tributes to the dead.
