Major UK Christmas market reviews security after Germany attack

One of the UK’s biggest Christmas markets said it has reviewed its security processes in the wake of the attack on a German Christmas market which left five people dead and more than 200 injured. Birmingham’s Frankfurt Christmas Market’s security processes were reviewed and discussed with a police security adviser after a BMW ploughed into customers at the busy festive market in Magdeburg on Friday evening.

“In light of last night’s tragic events in Germany the processes were reviewed and discussed with the police security adviser. No changes are required and all staff remain vigilant. Chancellor Olaf Scholz said nearly 40 of those hurt were “so seriously injured that we must be very worried about them”. Sir Keir Starmer said he was “horrified” by the “atrocious attack” . The suspected attack comes eight years after an attack on a Christmas market in Berlin.
