Scores of people were injured and at least two people, including a small child, were killed on Friday after a car ploughed into a crowd of people at a Christmas market in the eastern German town of Magdeburg, in what local officials are describing as a terror attack.
A crime scene investigator arrives at the scene in Magdeburg, Germany. The driver of the vehicle that drove into crowds has been arrested.Emergency workers were seen treating victims on the ground at the market, surrounded by blood. Makeshift tents were erected at the site. Witnesses reported hearing cries and screams. The operator of a food stall on the market described the scenes as “reminiscent of a war”.
“As things stand, he is a lone perpetrator, so that as far as we know there is no further danger to the city,” Haseloff said. A police operation was also under way in the town of Bernburg, south of Magdeburg, where the suspect is believed to have lived, local newspaper Mitteldeutsche Zeitung reported.

According to my knowledge, the car drove into the crowds of visitors … but from what direction and how far it went, I can’t say.”
Security experts said they were astounded that the man was able to drive into the market despite the heavy-set bollards which had been installed to prevent such an attack.
