Car plows into crowd in Berlin, police say

A car plowed into a crowd of people in a popular shopping district in Berlin on Wednesday morning, police said.

"A man is said to have driven into a group of people," the Berlin Police said in a statement via Twitter. "It is not yet known whether it was an accident or intentional action."

The incident took place along the busy shopping street Tauentzienstrasse in the west of Germany's capital. The alleged driver of the vehicle was detained at the scene, according to police.

Further details on the incident were not immediately available.

The scene was near the Breitscheidplatz, a public square in Berlin where 13 people were killed after an extremist deliberately drove into a Christmas market in 2016.
