Local media reported that one person had been killed and several people seriously injured.
Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) said at least 20 people had been injured, citing emergency services. They added that exact numbers were difficult to confirm, as multiple injured people had fled to surrounding buildings for protection.
The emergency services confirmed that there were multiple injuries, but the authorities have not disclosed information on any deaths at this time. They asked the public to refrain from speculation.
The crowd were reportedly protesting in a march organised by one of Germany’s largest trade unions.
