At least 2 dead and 60 hurt after a car drives into a German Christmas market in a suspected attack


A car plowed into a busy outdoor Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg on Friday, killing at least two people and injuring at least 60 others in what authorities called a deliberate attack.

The driver was arrested at the scene shortly after the car barreled into the market at around 7 p.m., when it was teeming with holiday shoppers looking forward to the weekend.


Verified bystander footage distributed by the German news agency dpa showed the suspectā€™s arrest on a walkway in the middle of the road. A nearby police officer pointing a handgun at the man shouted at him as he lay prone. Other officers soon arrived to take the man into custody.

The two people confirmed dead were an adult and a toddler, but officials said additional deaths couldnā€™t be ruled out because 15 people had been seriously injured.


The violence shocked the city, bringing its mayor to the verge of tears and marring a festive event thatā€™s part of a centuries-old German tradition. It also prompted several other German towns to cancel their weekend Christmas markets as a precaution and out of solidarity with Magdeburgā€™s loss.

The suspect is a 50-year-old Saudi doctor who moved to Germany in 2006, Tamara Zieschang, the interior minister for the state of Saxony-Anhalt, said at a news conference. He has been practicing medicine in Bernburg, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Magdeburg, she said.

ā€œAs things stand, he is a lone perpetrator, so that as far as we know there is no further danger to the city,ā€ Saxony-Anhaltā€™s governor, Reiner Haseloff, told reporters. ā€œEvery human life that has fallen victim to this attack is a terrible tragedy and one human life too many.ā€


The violence occurred in Magdeburg, a city of about 240,000 people west of Berlin that serves as Saxony-Anhaltā€™s capital. Fridayā€™s attack came eight years after an Islamic extremist drove a truck into crowded Christmas market in Berlin, killing 13 people and injuring many others. The attacker was killed days later in a shootout in Italy
