Car rams into Munich crowd injuring at least 28 in suspected attack

German police said that a car had driven into a crowd of people in Munich, injuring 20 people. The incident preceded a major security conference.

MUNICH — At least 28 people were injured Thursday when a car plowed into a crowd in what German authorities called a "suspected attack."

The incident came the day before a major security conference attended by world leaders was set to begin. Vice President JD Vance is among those due to address the conference.

The U.S. Secret Service told NBC News: "There was no protective impact to the VP but we are monitoring that incident closely and German authorities are still investigating a potential motive."

The car driven by a 24-year-old Afghan struck pedestrians around 10:30 a.m. (4:30 a.m. ET) in the city center, and prompted a "major" operation, police said. The driver of the car had been "secured" and posed no further threat, police said.
