Trier, Germany - A baby was among five people killed when a car tore through a pedestrian shopping street in the southwestern German city of Trier on Tuesday, police said, after arresting the driver.
Prosecutor Peter Fritzen said the driver, a 51-year-old Trier native, appeared to be suffering from psychiatric problems and had been under the influence of alcohol during the incident, in which 14 other people were hurt.
Police said they had no indications of a political motive after questioning the suspect, and Fritzen said prosecutors were considering requesting he be placed in psychiatric care.
