Here’s more from the New York Times:

A vehicle drove into a Christmas market in a city in central Germany on Friday evening, wounding dozens of people, according to videos posted online and local news reports.

The driver of the vehicle was arrested, according to local news outlets.

The police could not immediately confirm the number of victims at the market in the city of Magdeburg, but many officers were at the site. The area around the market was also closed, a police spokeswoman said.

“This is a terrible event, especially now in the days leading up to Christmas,” Reiner Haseloff, the governor of Saxony-Anhalt state, where Magdeburg is the capital, told the German wire service D.P.A.

More than 1,000 temporary Christmas markets pop up every year in Germany, and they have been the target of terrorists in the past. In 2016, an extremist rammed a truck into a crowd in Berlin, killing 13.

Surveillance footage from Magdeburg that was circulated on social media and verified by The New York Times on Friday showed a car plowing into a large crowd and ramming into dozens of people at a Christmas market. The car then turned right onto another crowded street. Several people rushed to help the injured after the car sped away.
