A vehicle attack in Mannheim, Germany resulted in two fatalities and multiple injuries during carnival festivities. Authorities have detained the driver, a 40-year-old German from Rhineland-Palatinate, who acted alone without any signs of extremist or religious motivation. The police had been on high alert for potential threats during the carnival season, but they believe the event was an isolated incident. As the community mourns, they are reassessing safety measures while Carnival celebrations continue, under heightened scrutiny from law enforcement.
A car drove into a crowd in the western German city of Mannheim on Monday, killing at least two people and seriously injuring several others, overshadowing carnival celebrations in the region.
Police detained the car's driver and later said he had acted alone, with no broader threat seen for the public.
The suspect is a 40-year-old German man from the neighbouring state of Rhineland-Palatinate who did not appear to be politically or religiously motivated, authorities said.
