Payam Javan: At least 28 people were injured in Munich, Germany, on Thursday after a car plowed into a crowd during a demonstration by a service workers’ union. The incident occurred around 10:30 a.m. local time in a square near downtown Munich. Authorities have described the crash as a suspected attack, with police confirming that two of the injured are in serious condition. Emergency responders remain on-site, prioritizing medical care for the victims and urging the public to keep emergency routes clear.

The driver, identified as a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker, has been taken into custody. Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder stated that the act was “probably an attack,” though investigations are ongoing. The incident comes just a day before Munich’s annual international security conference, which will be attended by world leaders, including U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
