On Monday afternoon, a man decided to plow through pedestrians in central Leipzig, Germany. According to media reports, two people have died and at least 25 more are injured.

Germany has once again been shaken by an incident in which a vehicle was driven into a crowd, this time in Leipzig. This method has become increasingly common in recent years and points to a worrying trend, where public spaces and city centers have become particularly vulnerable.

One of the most high-profile attacks occurred at the Christmas market in Magdeburg, where six people were killed and several injured.

German media now report that a driver directed their vehicle onto a central pedestrian street where many people were present. According to witness accounts, the car drove at high speed straight into the crowd, which contributed to the serious consequences of the incident.

About 80 people from ambulance and rescue services were working at the scene to assist those affected. At the time of writing, two people are reported dead and around 25 are injured.

Police have arrested the driver in connection with the attack. The motive behind the act remains unclear and is being investigated by the authorities. According to mainstream media, the driver has been described as confused.
