Number of Casualties in Leipzig Car Ramming May be as High as 80 Getty Images OLIVER JJ LANE5 May 2026968 While the picture is unclear because many were ‘walking wounded’ who left the scene without talking to medics, it is thought the Leipzig car attack may have struck as many as 80 people on Monday. The alleged driver of a car that was ploughed through crowds on a busy shopping street and a historic market square appeared before a court on Tuesday after being arrested at the scene on Monday afternoon.

The suspect, a 33-year-old German citizen, is said to be a local amateur boxing coach. Police say they do not believe the car being driven through the crowds was accidental and they are treating it as a deliberate attack, but say they don’t believe there is any political or religious motivation, NTV reports. The alleged perpetrator was already known to police, it is said, and had left a psychiatric hospital the day before the attack. If the facts as presented turn out to be true, the deaths in Leipzig may again speak to state failure, where a patient at a mental hospital has been allegedly expelled after violence towards staff and fellow inmates, exposing the general public to this danger rather than transferring the individual to a more secure unit. On Monday afternoon, a car was driven at speeds of “at least” 50 kilometres per hour (30mph) through the pedestrianised city centre of Leipzig, eastern Germany.

As reported on Monday, two people were declared dead at the scene, and they have now been identified as a 63 year old woman and 77 year old man reports Die Welt. The number of injured has remained unclear, although it has quickly risen from around a dozen to as many as 80. Three of those are said to be seriously injured and in critical condition, but the total number is unclear as many lightly injured individuals are thought to have left the scene without checking in with paramedics to either check themselves into hospital or go home.

Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.

A German tourist has died after a snake crawled into his trousers and bit him as he watched a show in Egypt on a family holiday, police in Germany have said. The 57-year-old man was watching the snake-charming show at a hotel in Hurghada, a popular beach holiday destination on the Red Sea, in early April. The two snakes involved, thought to be cobras, were draped over the necks of audience members, police in southern Bavaria state said.

“The ‘snake charmer’ then let one of the snakes crawl into the trousers” of the German man and it bit him in the leg, they said in a statement. The victim showed “clear signs of poisoning” and had to be resuscitated before being taken to hospital, where he later died, they said. The man – who was not named in the statement – came from the Unterallgäu district of Bavaria and was on holiday with two relatives. German police and prosecutors are investigating his death and are awaiting the results of a toxicology test. When contacted by Agence France-Press, Egyptian authorities said they were not aware of the incident.

A 10-month-old girl has died along with two other people after a tree toppled during an Easter egg hunt in northern Germany, police say. The 100-foot tree fell on four people participating in the event on Sunday morning in woods near the town of Satrupholm. The baby girl died in hospital, while her 21-year-old mother died at the scene as she was being treated by first responders, as did another 16-year-old girl. An 18-year-old woman suffered serious injuries and was brought to the hospital by helicopter. The incident took place as around 50 people from a nearby residential facility for new mothers, pregnant women and children hunted for eggs in the area, which had been under a high winds warning from the German weather service. Grief counsellors were sent to the scene, where pictures published by the Bild news site showed several Easter eggs scattered on the ground and two of the victims covered in white sheets.
