MOSCOW: A taxi driver who drove his car into pedestrians near the Kremlin at the weekend told a Moscow court on Monday that he had mixed up the accelerator and brake pedals because he had not slept for two days.

The driver, Chingiz Anarbek from Kyrgyzstan, said he understood his guilt and apologized for injuring people.

Police have said that seven people were hurt, including two Mexican fans who were in the Russian capital for the World Cup finals.
