A car drove into people at a Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg on Friday. Officials said they suspected it was an attack and that people were injured, but it was not immediately clear how many were harmed.
The driver of the car was arrested, German news agency dpa reported, citing unidentified government officials in the state of Saxony-Anhalt. Regional government spokesperson Matthias Schuppe and city spokesperson Michael Reif said they suspected it was a deliberate act.
Reif said there were “numerous injured” but didn’t give a precise figure.
“The pictures are terrible,” he said. “My information is that a car drove into the Christmas market visitors, but I can’t yet say from what direction and how far.”
Footage from the scene of a cordoned-off part of the market showed debris on the ground.
“This is a terrible event, particularly now in the days before Christmas," Saxony-Anhalt governor Reiner Haseloff said. Haseloff told dpa that he was on his way to Magdeburg but couldn’t immediately give any information on victims or what was behind the incident.
Magdeburg, which is west of Berlin, is the state capital of Saxony-Anhalt and has about 240,000 inhabitants.
The suspected attack came a day after the eight anniversary of an attack on a Christmas market in Berlin. On Dec. 19, 2016, an Islamic extremist attacker plowed through a crowd of Christmas market-goers with a truck, leaving 13 people dead and injuring dozens more. The attacker was killed days later in a shootout in Italy.

“Person” is not an accurate description of a radical terrorist.
Since the AP says nothing about the identity of the perp, I’m going to assume they are trying to cover up the fact it was an Amish man, and the AP doesn’t want people to think poorly of white Christians.
video looks pretty bad, folks.
It’s hard to understand how Americans back in the 1920s thought it was a BETTER IDEA to bring in folks from south/central American countries and others parts of the world and slice Italian immigration from 200,000 a year to 4,000.
Our religion didn’t call for the extuingishing of folks in the country that took us in.
One might want to require that when deciding on immigration.
Absent Christianity and masculine leadership, their culture was vulnerable; the muslims saw this, and invaded. Germans, and other Europeans, are paying for disrespecting their heritage. Demographically, they are past the point of no return.

Initial reports are that he’s Turkish.
Excuse me, Saudi.
“Person.”
GMAB.
I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. John 15:5-6
The pocket knife searches did not work.
Saudi. First report 11 dead and many more critical.
Unbelievable! Never would have guessed.
Be on the lookout for “a person.”
Cue the dumb frauleins with their “refugees welcome” signs.
Anyone have access to Bluesky? Allegation is that posters are cheering for the attack on ‘Christians’.
It pleases the god of the burning sands.
RE: Person drives into a group of people
Person = immigrant from Saudi Arabia
Why not use THAT in the title? Are they trying to save space?
We need common sense Muslim Control.
Can’t be. Only Americans do that. Right, libs?
