A hunt was underway today for a man who tried to ram his car into soldiers jogging near their barracks in southeast France, without causing any injuries, the army said. The man first threatened a group of soldiers who were out jogging at around 8am in Varces-Allieres-et-Risset, near Grenoble, and later tried to run down another group of soldiers returning from a jog, army spokesman Colonel Benoit Brulon told AFP. "The soldiers managed to get up onto the pavement without being hit," Brulon said. Police sealed off the area and began a search for the driver, while the army stepped up security around the barracks, Brulon said. Four months later, a man rammed his car into a group of soldiers on anti-terror patrol in the western Paris suburb of Levallois-Perret, injuring six people.
