Horrific news to report as security cameras have captured a car plowing through a German Market and injuring/killing at least 70 and counting.
Stunningly, German citizens are banned from sharing this video because it allegedly shows an illegal migrant committing the act:
Early reports suggest the vehicle was driven by an Islamist migrant to Germany:
Nick Sortor reports the alleged driver is a Saudi Arabian national.
Sortor shows what he claims is video of his arrest:
Meanwhile, Ian Miles Cheong reports the AP chose to go with this offensively bland headline:
I verified myself and either Cheong's claim is incorrect or the AP has already updated the headline to this (albeit not much better):
A festive Christmas market in Eastern Germany erupted into chaos after a car was driven into a group of people in the city of Magdeburg on Friday in a suspected terrorist attack.
Between 60 and 80 people have been injured, according to a spokesperson for the local rescue service, as reported by AFP as officials continue to investigate the incident.
Several of the injured are said to be in critical condition, and multiple reports citing the German public broadcaster MDR, said at least one person had been killed, though Fox News Digital could not independently verify this.
The identity of the driver and whether the incident was intentional or not remains unclear, though multiple reports confirmed the driver had been arrested.
German tabloid BILD also reported the driver drove some 400 meters across the market, though police forces have not yet confirmed this to Fox News Digital.
The local police force took to X to confirm that, "Extensive police operations are currently taking place at the Magdeburg Christmas market.
"The Christmas market in the city center is closed," it added. "Further reports will be made."
German Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, did not provide any updates but in a message posted to X in German said, "The reports from Magdeburg suggest something bad is about to happen.
"My thoughts are with the victims and their families," he added. "We stand by their side and by the side of the people of Magdeburg. My thanks go to the dedicated rescue workers in these anxious hours."
We will continue to bring you updates as we have them.
