当地时间20日晚间,德国萨克森-安哈尔特州首府马格德堡一节日市集发生汽车冲撞人群事件。马格德堡市政府公布了官方伤亡数字,事故造成2人死亡,另有68人受伤,其中重伤15人、中度伤37人、轻伤16人。此前警方曾表示事故造成70人受伤。
Scores of people were injured and at least two people, including a small child, were killed on Friday after a car ploughed into a crowd of people at a Christmas market in the eastern German town of Magdeburg. At least 68 other people were injured, including 15 who were left in a critical state, according to the city government.
马格德堡市政府还表示,事件发生后,当地共部署了100名消防员和50名救援人员。
肇事者已经被警方逮捕,是一名50岁左右来自沙特阿拉伯并在附近城市工作的医生,自2006年以来一直居住在德国并拥有德国永久居留权,2016年7月被认定为难民。目前还没有迹象表明肇事者有同伙,尚不清楚其作案动机以及是否为恐怖袭击。
The driver of the car was immediately arrested, and later identified as Taleb A., a 50-year-old medical doctor from Saudi Arabia. Saxony-Anhalt's leader Reiner Haseloff said the man had been living in Germany since 2006. The suspect, a consultant for psychiatry and psychotherapy, was recognised as a refugee in 2016.
