NYPD Increases Security at Holiday Markets After German Christmas Market Attack

The move follows a suspected terror attack in Magdeburg, Germany, where a car drove into a crowd, killing two and injuring dozens.

The NYPD has announced an enhanced police presence at New York City holiday markets to ensure public safety during the festive season.
This decision comes after a car plowed into a crowded Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, on Friday, leaving two dead and at least 68 injured, including some in critical condition.
German authorities have identified a 50-year-old Saudi doctor as the suspect in what has been labeled a terrorist attack; the suspect was arrested at the scene.
NYPD Deputy Commissioner Rebecca Weiner emphasized that no specific or credible threats have been identified in NYC but called the increased security a precautionary measure.
Holiday markets across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx will see a heightened police presence to reassure New Yorkers and maintain a safe holiday atmosphere.
