Afghan Man Arrested After Car Crashes Into Crowd, Injuring at Least 20, Including Children

At least 20 people were injured in Munich on Thursday morning, February 13, after a Mini Cooper drove into a crowd.

According to Bild, the driver, a 26-year-old Afghan man, was arrested at the scene. Munich Police assured the public via social media that the suspect had been secured and “currently poses no further danger.”

The incident occurred as global defense leaders, including U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, convened in the Bavarian city for a major security conference.

‘A person was lying on the street and a young man was taken away by the police,’ Sandra Demmelhuber said. 

‘People were sitting on the ground, crying and shaking. Details still unclear,’ the reporter added.

Emergency responders are currently at the scene, providing assistance to the victims, while police work to determine whether the driver intentionally targeted the crowd.
