An air ambulance arrived at the scene, pictured, to take survivors of tonight's attack to hospital.

The driver mounted the pavement at 40mph and steered directly at large groups of people watching the fireworks.

People leaving the area were ordered to hold their hands up as they evacuated the scene near the sea front in Nice last night.

Emergency services took badly wounded survivors away from the scene in a fleet of ambulances to nearby hospitals for treatment.

French police riddled the truck with gunfire in an effort to kill the crazed driver of the truck which ran down hundreds of people.
