A least one person has been killed and several injured in the incident in Magdeburg, according to German public broadcaster MDR.

The suspected driver of the car has also been arrested, MDR said, citing a government spokesman.

Video on social media shows a number of people laying on the ground and emergency services in attendance.

An "extensive police operation" is underway and the market was closed, according to local authorities.

Summary​

  • A car has been driven into crowds at a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg
  • At least one person has been killed and dozens more are injured, according to German media
  • A local official says the early signs indicated it was a deliberate attack - and there are reports a suspect has been arrested
  • Unverified footage shared on social media showed several people lying on the ground receiving treatment, and a huge emergency response is under way
  • We're expecting a police press conference soon - we will bring you updates as we get them
 
Very sad. With 2 people dead and 68 injured you immediately think of terrorist action, but I haven't seen that reported yet.

Some interesting details about the suspect. An islamaphobic Dr who supports AfD and followed by Tommy Robinson.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy09y32rlnxo

Who is the suspect?​

The suspect has been identified in local media reports as Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, the BBC understands.
He is a 50-year-old Saudi-born psychiatrist who lives in Bernburg, around 40km (25 miles) south of Magdeburg.
He has been remanded in custody on suspicion of five counts of murder, multiple attempted murders and dangerous bodily harm, police say.
The motive behind the attack remains unclear but authorities have reported that they believe he carried out the attack alone.
Al-Abdulmohsen arrived in Germany in 2006 and in 2016 was recognised as a refugee.
Germany's Interior Minister Nancy Faeser told reporters that it was "clear to see" that the suspect holds "Islamophobic" views.
The suspect ran a website that aimed to help other former Muslims flee persecution in their Gulf homelands, and was interviewed about it by the BBC in 2019
 
Leaving a gap for emergency services probably seemed a good idea as the likelihood of an attack was so low, i think that may change next time.
