A car plowed into a busy outdoor Christmas market in eastern Germany, killing two people and injuring at least 68 others in what authorities suspect was an attack.
The car drove into Magdeburg Christmas market at around 7pm, when it was busy with holiday shoppers looking forward to the weekend.
At least two people were killed and 68 were injured, including 15 who were hurt very seriously, according to government officials. It said 37 people had injuries of medium severity and 16 were lightly injured.
An adult and a small child are the two dead, Saxony-Anhalt's Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff said. He couldn’t rule out further deaths because so many people were seriously injured.
The driver of the car was arrested. State governor Reiner Haseloff told reporters that the suspect is a 50-year-old Saudi doctor who first came to Germany in 2006.
Regional government spokesperson Matthias Schuppe and city spokesperson Michael Reif said they suspected it was an attack.
Magdeburg, which is west of Berlin, is the state capital of Saxony-Anhalt and has about 240,000 inhabitants.
An “extensive police operation” is underway and the market was closed, according to local authorities.

Every single year the people of peace strike during christmas
They also gain an increased perception that the western societies are weak..
White Americans?
@@christianlimon6025 In Germany? No, this was a Saudi - you take the scorpion across the river (or invite him into your country) then get all surprised when he stings...
Muslims?
Islam is followed by hate and brutal violence.
Ban it! T.I.M.
This is so shocking im really sorry for the people who are badly injured , this is so terrible , ive been at Christmas markets in Germany a few years ago and its a lovely to place to go at Christmas time,, my deepest sympathy to the German people and also to the families who lost loved ones in this sad time , from john in Ireland
Same actors! Germany welcomes them??? Why?
One word ...Jéws
Ah, yes. Germany always seems to get "enriched" by doctors and lawyers around this time of year.
So ... Is this related at all to the arrest of the guy from Iraq who was was plotting to attack the Christmas Market in Bavaria on or around December 6th?
The germans are facing some cultural diversity.
So does the USA
@@brianbiggers9611 yup, and they will suffer greatly for it at the betrayal their politicians
Why do they always go for the holiday markets in Europe? Not judging as a disclaimer as an American but, it seems every year some jerk with a truck plows into a group of people at a holiday market. It's awful, These murders always pick the most innocent places to attack, like grocerers, churches, schools, festivals.... Makes me sick.
Soft left wing European governments in the past allowed far too much immigration, much of it from the problems in the arab countries, so guess which religion many refugees belong to
And I’m sure they ask the same questions about our particular “problem”. So sad that people let hatred of others run their lives and the lives of others.
You call that a jerk huh? I call it a homicidal maniac!
@@heidiweidmann2926 say it how it is mate, theyll still hate you for it so what difference does it make, this has been going on since like 2014
@@glenbenton4855 I’m not quite sure what you mean, could you elaborate a bit please?
A the European Union bringing peace to its people as always . Now remember they know best, just shut up and pay your Taxes .
The perpetrator is an MD. Imagine the hatred in the name of a religion. Any religion
Md?
@ That’s what they are saying. From Saudi Arabia. Do the math
@@TheodoreLiagouris-ln7un why blame other religions 😂 have some balls, there's one that promotes hatred and no other
Has Germany been condemned for airstriking or rocketing ANY country the last 60+ years? No, so why make enemies with the 3rd largest economy in the world? Stupidity
Hate. Religion of peace hates everything alive.
Sending love and light to the victims and their families during this difficult time. RIP to child and adult who passed.
🙏❤️
It's a twisted world we occupy.
Happiness is bliss...
@MrBuddy-r8w that's ignorance. You're welcome.
How did the car do that
His name is not Mahmoud,isn’t it? Omg!! Am I islamiophobic ? Sooo sorry.
Germans are just facing some cultural diversity.
Racism/tribalism saves lives 👍
Don't confuse Germans for Nazis...
What nationality was a driver, germany be honest, say something. Vote for the same people expect the same thing. Your choice.
The drivers nationality doesn't matter. People died because authorities failed to do their job...
That’s so horrible! My heart ❤️ goes out to all the victims and families.
He drove at least 400 meters through the market at high speed. The vehicle was a rental car. Suspect lives in Germany since 2006. it is unusual that a t his age, being from Saudi Arabia and is a Doctor, to do this act. He had gas bottles in the trunk. The German Chancellor will hold a Press Conference tomorrow Germany time.
Thanks for the details.
Wow , seems that everyone is right to be wary of doctors and engineers who come as refugees.
CNN and MSNBC are saying it’s just an “accident”
Has the world gone totally crazy?
World? Just some people who brought it with them to civilized country.
Didn’t something like this happen before? Edit: Berlin (2016). 😢
Where ?
A driver? What kind of driver?? Was it a native German or foreigner?
A Saudi.
Doesnt fit their narrative to say. All they want is “fear fear fear” AS LONG AS ITS PORTRAYED TO BE the white man. Im glad some people like yourself arent dumb and can see it tho.
Who did it?
the politicians allowing these people really ought to be jailed. Almost every single year for the past six years we witness something like this. Yet because its the masses and they don't have much money it will continue to sadly happen the big wigs will never do anything to actually insure safety . Its really sickening how little accountability they show let alone the betrayal of its people
Why was this Christmas market not well protected (barrier) form the past experience just why ?
Yeah, people that are epileptic shouldn’t watch this because of all the strobe lights. That’s the only warning that should be on this video.
So how many people where killed?
It wasnt a white man so they cant say
Religion of peace ✌️🕊️ strikes again 👍
Imagine, people actually voted for this. Where is Merkel hiding?
WARNING** by Nothing to see here folks. 🤦♂️
This has happened several times times it is very sad how do you defend yourself against a car are we going to suggest banning cars
Not banning cars. Putting up barriers so cars can’t do this. Putting police on the ground to look for terrorists. Stop being PC believing “they” will be offended.
Read the quran then may be youd understand.
No parade is worth going to anymore.. or being in a street market around Christmas time 😢
We cannot allow evil mu-slimes to defeat us so easily
They have no right to ruin Christmas traditions and celebrations.
That’s what they want.

A little too late for barricades
I’d rather silence than these clown Anchors giving their 2 cent opinions..
Thanks for Reporting=============AAA+++Bedford, Texas USA
Saudi that was atheist but then later on became a right-wing AfD afficionado. Was here since 2006. Watch the right try to spin this from the obvious and avoid any responsibility.
