Natasha Rinaldi, who was watching the parade from her friend’s living room window, said: “People started rushing to go after the driver and they tried to break the car. The police did everything to block and to push people away.
“We could just hear screams. We were very confused. Some of my friends were down there and the car was so near them. It was a horrible scene, nobody was expecting it.”
