A driver plowed into pedestrians in central Munich, injuring around 20 people, including children. The incident occurred as the Bavarian capital prepared for the high-security Munich Security Conference. The incident unfolded near downtown Munich at approximately 10:30am on Thursday. Police secured the driver at the scene, who no longer poses a danger. A damaged Mini and debris, including shoes, were left at the scene. About 20 people were injured, with two seriously hurt. Mayor Dieter Reiter said he was "deeply shocked" and confirmed children were among the injured. A nearby demonstration by the service workers' union ver.di was taking place at the time, though it is unclear if demonstrators were injured. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot.
