The city of Munich faced a shocking event on Thursday. A car drove into a crowd of protesters. At least 28 people were hurt, including children. Officials think it was a deliberate attack. The driver, a 24-year-old asylum-seeker from Afghanistan, was caught by the police. The incident happened near Munich's central train station. The police shut down the area and launched a major operation. The police did not think the driver was a threat anymore after they caught him. The Munich Security Conference was scheduled to take place on the next day. Top leaders like Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and US Vice President JD Vance were going to attend. The conference was about 1 mile away from where the incident happened. The protesters were part of a strike organized by the Verdi union. Verdi is a big union for public sector workers in Germany. They were protesting because wage negotiations had stopped. The protesters were employees of local childcare services. The union did not have more information about the incident. An eyewitness saw the police shooting at the car. The eyewitness said a man was under the car and tried to open the door, but it was locked. The eyewitness then helped the injured people. The mayor of Munich, Dieter Reiter, said he was deeply shaken by the event. He said the police told him a vehicle hit a group of people and many were hurt. The incident is still developing and more information is expected to come out.
