At least 1 person has been killed and dozens more injured after a car drove into a crowd of shoppers in Berlin, Germany, according to authorities.

A 29-year-old man with dual German and Armenian citizenship, thought to be the driver, has been arrested and is currently being questioned, Berlin police toldtheBBC, Wednesday.

It is currently unclear if the incident on one of Berlin’s busiest shopping streets was an accident or intentional.

“There are seriously injured people among the more than a dozen injured,” police spokesperson Thilo Cablitz told reporters at the scene, reported the BBC.

“Part of the reconstruction of the event, of course, is to look at the extent to which this was an intentional act or a traffic accident that may have occurred because of an exceptional medical situation,” Cablitz added, according toThe New York Times.
