A car drove into a crowd at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, killing one and injuring several. The driver has been arrested, and investigations are ongoing.
A car drove into a crowd at a Christmas market in the eastern German town of Magdeburg, broadcaster MDR and other local media said on Friday, citing a local government official.
At least one person was killed and several were injured, MDR's report said, citing local police. The report said the suspected driver of the car had been arrested.
A video published by newspaper Bild showed people trying to help what appeared to be multiple injured victims at a crowded Christmas market.
"I estimate there are at least 20 ambulances here, a lot of firefighters, and I can see the police helicopter circling in the sky," an MDR reporter said during a live broadcast, adding that there were a lot of armed police on site.
Eyewitnesses told MDR that the car drove straight into the crowd at the market, in the direction of the town hall.
"This is a terrible event, especially now in the days before Christmas," head of Saxony-Anhalt state government Reiner Haseloff told MDR, adding that he was on his way to Magdeburg.
Police and the local government's spokesperson were not immediately available for comment.
