Two people have died and several were injured after a car drove into a crowd in the eastern German city of Leipzig on Monday afternoon, local authorities said.

Mayor Burkhard Jung said the suspected perpetrator was apprehended, adding that authorities were not yet clear on the motivation.

Leipzig fire chief Axel Schuh said 22 people were injured, two seriously.

Approximately 40 firefighters and 40 paramedics are on the scene, along with two helicopters, Schuh said.

Police confirmed that a car had struck several people in the central Grimmaische Straße area before driving off.

The driver was later arrested "and there is currently no further danger emanating from him", according to police.

At about 17:35 (15:35 GMT), Radio Leipzig reported that police said the danger was over and that the area around the square had been cordoned off.

Unverified images posted on social media showed a yellow emergency helicopter near the scene as well as several ambulances.

When will they finally handle this as it should have been decades ago? Perhaps never, sadly.

Remember even after repeated attacks:
Don't look back in anger.

After all, it's your (the UK) fault for not being more tolerant, inclusive, and not integrating Muslims into your community but don't ask them to assimilate because that's racist and White Supremacist too.
 
We may never know why Abu Killinfidels Mohammed Islam *clickclick* committed this horrific act but it's definitely the fault of the white man.

Why cars? It seems to be so specific to Germany. Is it a point against their famous manufacturing prowess? This isn't some idle copycat trend.

My guess is that it's because Germany has open-air market events in every city and town ALL the time. It's a big part of their culture. The easiest way to disrupt their culture is with cars. It's just that simple.
