Feb 13, 2025
One day in Munich, some people were having a peaceful march. They were protesting for better work conditions. Suddenly, a car came speeding in and hit many of them. It was a scary moment!
The car driver was a 24-year-old man from Afghanistan. He had asked for help to stay in Germany. The police say he drove his car into the crowd on purpose. People were hurt badly, and some even had severe injuries. It was a very sad situation.
The police were nearby and quickly caught the driver. They made sure no one else was in danger from him. The police said that they had noticed this man before because he had some trouble with the law, like stealing things.
Many people, including children, were hurt, and that made everyone very upset. The mayor of Munich, Dieter Reiter, felt shocked and sad for those who got injured. They couldn’t understand why someone would do something so terrible.
The Bavarian Minister, Markus Söder, called the act a "punch in the face" to Germany. He wanted to know why this happened and emphasized that it shouldn’t happen again. The workers' group, which organized the march, was also very heartbroken and confused about the attack.
At the same time, many important people from different countries were coming to Munich for a big meeting. The city was getting ready for lots of visitors and wanted everyone to be safe. The police said they didn’t think this car incident was related to the big meeting.
Everyone in Munich was talking about how to keep people safe and prevent such incidents. They hoped to learn from this and make things better. It was a day filled with shock and sadness, but the city's leaders promised to protect their people and fix things.
