An eyewitness who would only give his first name, 'Emin,' told CNN he helped capture the driver, who 'did not look drunk to me.'

Emin said pedestrians were 'panicking and screaming' and that two or three were seriously hurt. Emin said a pair of Mexican fans and 'mostly Russians' were hit by the taxi.

The Mexican Embassy in Moscow said on Twitter that two Mexican citizens were among the injured.

It's not clear how badly injured the victims were, TASS said. At least five emergency vehicles were at the scene, Moscow police said.

Police said they have detained the driver, saying the person apparently lost control of the vehicle.

'The driver failed to control the vehicle,' Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said Saturday. 'Several people were injured, who have already received the necessary assistance.'

The situation, Sobyanin added, is 'under control.'
