A person drove a car into a protest march in central Munich on Thursday morning, injuring multiple people.
Munich police wrote on X that “several people” were hurt at the scene after a vehicle drove into a group of people. The driver was “secured on the spot and currently poses no further danger,” police added.
The incident comes on the eve of the Munich Security Conference, a gathering of leaders that starts on Friday and includes U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy among its participants.
According to German newspaper Bild, a person drove a Mini Cooper into a demonstration by service workers’ union Verdi.
The BBC cited police saying the operation is under way in the Dachauer Strasse area, outside of the city’s historic center and a half hour’s walk from where the security conference is taking place.
