BERLIN: According to police, a car crashed into a crowd in Mannheim, Germany, on Monday, killing at least one person and injuring multiple others. One suspect was also taken into custody.
A damaged automobile with a smashed front window was spotted in the inner city, and armed police closed the area. Since December, eight people have been killed in two automobile ramming assaults in other cities. Last May, a police officer was killed and five others were injured in a stabbing attack that occurred in Mannheim during an anti-Islam rally.
A suspected “perpetrator” was taken into custody after the automobile was driven through a shopping center at approximately 12:15 p.m. (1115 GMT), although police did not classify the most recent event as an attack.
