The Higher Court in Belgrade today ordered a detention of up to 30 days for the driver who hit a female student with his car during a traffic blockade on Ruzveltova Street on Thursday and caused her serious bodily injuries, and is suspected of attempted aggravated murder.

The court made this decision due to the risk of the suspect fleeing, to avoid influencing witnesses, to prevent him from repeating the crime in a short period of time, and to prevent public unrest, Radio Television of Serbia (RTS) reported.

The website of the Higher Public Prosecutor's Office in Belgrade states that the suspect defended himself by remaining silent during the interrogation, i.e. exercised his legal right not to present a defense.

A girl who was hit by a car on Thursday during a fifteen-minute tribute to those killed at Novi Sad's Železnička Station on November 1st suffered serious injuries, but the Clinical Center of Serbia announced that she is expected to be released home on Monday.
