A car barrelled through a Christmas market crowd in the eastern German city of Magdeburg on Friday, killing at least one person and injuring 50, according to the city’s deputy mayor, in what regional authorities were treating as a suspected attack.
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.
