At least 27 people were injured on Thursday when a car driver drove into a crowd in Munich, Germany, the BBC reported. Police say the driver was detained at the scene, and there is no further danger.
Some injuries are severe or critical.
This comes hours before Vice President JD Vance and other world leaders will arrive in the city for a security conference that is set to take place on Friday.
Bild Report
A 26-year-old Algerian man drove into the crowd.
According to the police, the driver in the accident is an asylum seeker who is currently only known to the police for drug and theft offenses. Bavaria’s Prime Minister Markus Söder (58, CSU): “It is probably an attack.
Söder continued: “The attack shows that I have to change something in Germany – and quickly!”
Did the driver accelerate before the accident?
At around 10:30 a.m. the Mini driver is said to have accelerated and then raced into the more than 1,000 demonstrators on Seidlstrasse. The police investigation must now clarify whether he intentionally drove into the crowd or mixed up the gas and brake.
An eyewitness said on site that the Mini had hit a woman with a child. The demo participant: “Mother and child are said to have been lying under the car.” Several children were injured.
The authorities are about to hold a press conference at the crime scene
Munich’s mayor Dieter Reiter (SPD) told BILD about the terrible incident: “The police chief has just informed me that a vehicle drove into a group of people and unfortunately many people were injured, including children. I am deeply shocked. My thoughts are with the injured.”
[…]
The operations manager at the PK: “Approached the meeting from behind and then drove into the crowd. The police then shot at the vehicle.”
No, “a car” has not driven into a crowd in Munich, injuring 20 people.
A “man” drove that car into the crowd of Versi union demonstrators, presumably with the intent to injure and kill.
He has been arrested at the scene.

You can take the poo-flinging barbarian out of the 7th century, but you can’t take the 7th century out of he poo-flinging barbarian.
“I am deeply shocked” ….. right.
You people open your borders to all the slime the world has to offer, welcome them, and then you’re “shocked” when they create mayhem and violence against your citizens.
All this was predictable.
“Diversity enriches our culture” . . . . . /SARC
That merkel needs to be arrested, charged, tried, convicted, and executed for Treason for what she did to Germany and to Europe.
Many be someone with a gun could of stopped it..
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
You’re getting your diversity…..Good and hard. Truly is a shame. Maybe Germany ought to think of letting even more “refugees” into the country and kowtowing to them even more. That might make them like their hosts more.
