A car has been driven into a group of people in the German city of Munich, leaving several people injured, police say.

The Bild newspaper reports that 15 people have been injured.

The Munich Security Conference is to start tomorrow and US Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are arriving later today.

A large-scale police operation is underway near the southern German city’s central train station.

Police say on X they were able to detain the driver and did not consider him to pose any further threat.

The incident appears to have affected people participating in a demonstration linked to a strike organized by the Verdi union, according to the local BR broadcaster.
