A car crashed into a crowd in Munich, leaving at least 28 people injured. Emergency services reported that two of the injured are in serious condition. Authorities believe the incident may have been an attack, and the suspect, an Afghan asylum-seeker, has been arrested. Police assured the public that the driver no longer poses a threat.
The incident occurred about 1.5 kilometers from the venue of the Munich Security Conference, which is set to begin the following day. The high-level event will be attended by U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
A large-scale police operation is underway near Munich’s central train station, with authorities urging residents to avoid the area to assist emergency responders. Helicopters were seen circling above as police cordoned off the scene. Investigations are ongoing, with officers examining whether the incident is linked to a demonstration by the service workers' union Verdi, which was taking place at the time. The union has not commented on the incident, and it remains unclear whether any demonstrators were among the injured.
Security is a major concern in Germany ahead of next week’s federal election. This attack follows a similar incident just two months ago, when a car plowed into a Christmas market in Magdeburg, killing two people and injuring nearly 70.
