Germany: 10 injured as car drives into carnival parade...
 

Ten people have been injured after a car drove into a carnival parade in Germany.

Police say the driver has been detained following the incident in Volkmarsen, which is in Hesse state.

Officials have declined to say whether it was an accident or a deliberate attack.

According to local reports, children are among those who have been injured.

Today is Rosenmontag in Germany - Rose Monday in English - a popular day for carnival celebrations across the country.

A large number of officers are at the scene about 175 miles southwest of Berlin, and the public are being urged not to spread unconfirmed reports about the incident.

It comes less than a week after a gunman shot 10 people dead in the German town of Hanau , in what is one of the worst racist attacks in the country since World War Two.

Investigators in that incident have said that the 43-year-old suspect, who was found dead in his flat soon after the shooting, had a xenophobic motive.

probably a deluded AFD supporter, salty how his party got kicked out of Hamburg parliament, and now under heavy criticism in more cities after hanau shooting

Not an accident

A car “deliberately” drove into a crowd at a carnival procession in Germany, injuring dozens of people including children.

A large number of officers are at the scene in Volkmarsen, a small town about 175 miles south-west of Berlin, according to Northern Hesse police.

The driver of the car, a 29-year-old German citizen from Volkmarsen was arrested at the scene by police who said he “cannot be interviewed at this time because of his injuries”.

i don't know if these type of incidents used to happen all the time and were never reported, but there seems to be an event like this every week now across the world

Speedy recovery to the victims, thank goodness no-one has (yet) died

Was it 2017 or 2018 when there was an islamic terror attack almost weekly in Europe?

was it payback for the shooting a week earlier ?

seems like every year tbh
