BBC  already have him down as a victim

From the BBC News site.

Police later released a video of the suspect being questioned about the crash.
"I wanted to brake, I wanted to let someone through," he says, visibly upset. "I switched off for a second and hit the accelerator.... then I saw the people."
He says he fled because he thought the crowd of people "were going to kill" him.
"There were so many of them," he adds.
He says he had about two hours of sleep before driving for 20 hours.
The suspect, who says he is a teetotaller, says the crash was accidental.


'Deliberate' crash
But one witness, who was across the road at the time of the crash, questioned this.
"I have the feeling that he did it deliberately because he was in the traffic jam with the cars going really slowly," said Viktoria Geranovich.
"How could he lose control of the wheel, push the gas and drive into the crowds?"
She said "mostly girls" were knocked down, but people rushed to help and the ambulance arrived quickly. "Thank god everything went well. It's scary that this happened in the very centre."

You thing this cannot be right. But then there is an agenda to filter certain types of news. But then look who is editing the stories.

The bbc headline is very disturbing; Moscow crash taxi driver 'feared crowd lynching'

It is the wrong sort of person to appear critical so we have swerved it if you get what I mean.

BBC don't like Russia normally, but will happily repeat their propaganda when it suits the agenda.

Most Russian taxi drivers are from "the South" as northern Russians are too drunk to do the job.
