A car plowed into a crowd in Seidlstraße area of Munich, Germany, injuring dozens of people. Authorities have identified the suspect as a 24-year-old man of Afghan nationality and arrested him after a brief confrontation with police. The incident occurred just one day before a major security conference in the city is set to take place.
At least two people were seriously injured in the attack, which was initially treated as a possible terrorist act by Bavarian governor Markus Söder. The German authorities have launched an investigation into the cause of the incident.
The Munich Security Conference, scheduled for Friday, has issued a statement expressing its “deep sadness” over the incident and assuring the public that emergency services are on site. US Vice President J.D. Vance is reportedly attending the conference but was not affected by the incident. The US Secret Service is monitoring the situation closely ahead of the conference.
