A driver rammed two suspected arsonists with his car as they tried to flee from a school after allegedly setting fire.

The pair were said to have tried to start the blaze at a polling station there during a general election.

The suspected firebugs reportedly doused the ballot boxes in flammable liquid.

They then tried to set them on fire before being foiled.

The pair was rammed by a motorist outside the school while trying to make their getaway.

Footage shows the two men jumping on their motorbike before being shunted by the angry driver.

The suspects fall to the ground and abandon their damaged bike before fleeing the scene on foot.

One of them is seen limping heavily.

The alleged arsonists also apparently leave behind their helmets.

It happened at the Bicentenario Primary School in Santiago de Querétaro, north west of Mexico City, Mexico.

It took place as Mexicans voted in the general election yesterday (2 Jun)..

Governor of Querétaro State, Mauricio Kuri González said that another three attacks were reported in the state.

He stated: “We have had four incidents here, including one at a bicentenary school and one in Juriquilla.

“They are isolated incidents.”

He added: “I ask people to make sure they still go out and vote.”

Although the official results of the election will not be known until Saturday (8 Ju), Claudia Sheinbaum is expected to become the country’s first female president in 200 years.

The National Electoral Institute said Sheinbaum, 61, had between 58.3% and 60.7% of the vote, based on a statistical sample.

The former governor of Mexico City is a member of the left-wing political party Morena.

She will succeed President Andrés Manuel López Obrador who announced his retirement from public office earlier this year, as reported by Need To Know.
