At least one person has died after a car plowed into a crowd at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany , police have said, according to local public broadcaster MDR. Up to 80 people have been injured, fire and emergency services have told CNN. The driver of the car that plowed through the crowd has been arrested, according to MD. Footage from social media, verified by CNN, shows the moment a black car drove directly into the crowd at the busy Christmas market.
Bodies and debris are scattered across the narrow lane as the car turns out of the plaza. Extensive police measures are currently in place at the scene, Magdeburg police said in a post on X. MDR reported that the Prime Minister of Saxony-Anhalt, Reiner Haseloff, is on his way to Magdeburg, which is west of Berlin. “This is a terrible event, especially now in the days before Christmas,” Haseloff said, according to MDR.
