Summary at a Glance

Police in Munich say at least 36 people were hurt when a car rammed into a crowd – including a child, who suffered serious injuries.

Workers taking part in a union demonstration were walking along a street when the car overtook a police vehicle that was accompanying the group, according to officers in the German city.

The incident happened a day before world leaders including US vice president JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in the southern city for the Munich Security Conference.

Police told a news conference on Friday that eight of the 36 people were seriously hurt in what they now say is being treated as a murder attempt.

They said the car then sped up and ploughed into the back of the group, before police opened fire.
