A car drove into a group of people at a Christmas market in the eastern German city of Magdeburg on Friday, leaving at least 20 people injured. The driver of the car, reported to be a dark BMW, was arrested following the crash which took place at 7:04pm today, according to unidentified government officials in the state of Saxony-Anhalt who spoke to the dpa news agency.
Video footage too graphic to share appears to show the dark car careening into the dense crowd, leaving dozens of people lying on the floor. Within seconds, countless revellers can be see fleeing for their lives in the wake of the crash. The Magdeburg Christmas market is located on the Old Market, directly next to Magdeburg Town Hall near the River Elbe. There is a large shopping center near the Christmas market.
