A driver plowed into people in the center of the German city of Leipzig on Monday, killing two, police said.
Another two people were seriously injured and taken to hospitals, said Axel Schuh, the city’s fire service director. About 20 additional people were “affected,” he said, without offering details.
The incident happened in the Grimmaische Strasse, a street that leads into central Leipzig’s shopping area.
Mayor Burkhard Jung said police caught the suspect and that “it is under control.” The driver stopped the car himself and was in the vehicle at the time he was detained, according to police spokesperson Susanne Lübcke.
The suspect is a 33-year-old man and is a German citizen, police said. Authorities believe it was likely an isolated incident.
Authorities didn’t know of a motive, according to Jung.
Leipzig is located southwest of Berlin and has more than 630,000 inhabitants, making it one of the biggest cities in eastern Germany.
