Three (Muslim?) men have been arrested by police after a Volkswagen Golf drove down the pedestrian area of a town centre busy with families and children enjoying festivities at the Congleton Christmas market. Name of the driver and car occupants have not yet been released (more than 48 hours after story broke).
(Note: In the past several years, Muslims in Europe have been behind several Christmas market vehicle-jihad attacks)
Birmingham Mail Emergency services have been called to a Christmas Market this evening amid reports a car has ‘driven into the crowd’. Eye witnesses say there were around 800 people – including families with small children – enjoying the festivities at Congleton Christmas Market when a car ‘doing at least 50mph ploughed into the crowd’.
Steve Brown, owner of Steve Brown Antiques in the High Street, said he was just closing his shop when he heard tyres screeching and people screaming.
Steve, 58, said: “It was absolutely horrendous. A car has come screeching down the High Street – which is full of stalls and people. There are hundreds of people here, people with kids and dogs and lots of traders. He said the police have arrived on the scene, but that he and others “don’t really know what’s happening yet”.
Another business owner said that his staff had “heard something”. He described the sound as: “Like a skidding, screeching sound, like somebody putting the brakes on in the car.
No serious injuries have yet been reported. Cheshire police are yet to comment on the incident.
[UPDATE] Recent remarks on the incident:

Breaking News!!
Congleton Police have announced the arrest of two elderly people and their deceased grand-child for damaging the front bumper of a car driven by Mr. Allah U. Akbar.
A Police spokes-person, Zhey Chris Butch, said “The Congleton Police will not tolerate the damage of the property of adherents of the Religion of Peace by the shin-bones of racist penshioners”.

LOL! Wouldn’t surprise me.
Donovan Nuera says
The last update from a local English paper was that “they don’t think it is ‘terror-related’”…. Which means nothing given the authorities track record in UK on assigning motive. Their names would been released if the 3 were Archibald Southwick Cavendish III, Reginald Chomindley-Teasdale, and Alfred Boddington Darcy-Arundel..
BareNakedIslam says
I will continue to leave the (Muslim?) in my post until we find out otherwise. And we will find out, sooner or later.
I just added some comments on Twitter about the no names thing.
floyd says
In Waukesha, they said this in the first and only press conference conducted 24 hours after the attack.
Siddi Nasrani says
The Police have now made 3 arrests & they are in custody. No names yet!
The Police did make this comment,” “Officers remain at the scene, providing a highly visible presence to reassure people. For clarity, this is not being treated as a terror-related incident”
What a joke, if I would have been there, I would have been Terrified of the
thought that I would die due to some lunatics driving at me at 50 MPH
in a Christmas Market.
H/T Cheshire-Live.
Donovan Nuera says
The Police Authority in Wales the day before had heightened the alert level specifically for Christmas Markets.
My guess is that even if there were deaths from the Cheshire attack, neither the PM or Royals would visit the grieving families because it might “offend/other/oppress” a certain “community”…

Love SyeTen videos. Too bad he’s not posting any new ones lately.
Siddi Nasrani says
Me too, he is so, so outrageous, but alas true.
Donovan Nuera says
This may have been a true Miracle as there were reports of 800 townsfolk (mostly families with kids) on the pedestrianized street and not a single death and maybe just one lady with a leg injury . The Citizens of Cheshire should all be in Church today praying for thanksgiving. The Shepherd will protect his Flock from wolves. (And despite living in a world with cellphone cameras being whipped out for every reason or event no matter how banal or stupid… there was not a single video shot by any potential victim????!!!)

Christmas jihad.
BareNakedIslam says
Now it’s more than 24 hours since I first posted about this. Will try to find the names.
Az gal says
The fact they haven’t named him is a dead giveaway.
Crusader 666 says
I bet that the MSM will not cover this story. To do so would be Islamophobic, FFS!
Daniel Erbstoesser says
The imported religion of freedom does exactly what the politics want . Should i be wrong then why do they import more and more of them. Nothing will happen to them just as nothing has happened in the past. Europe lets criminals, rapists and even murder walk around free and it has happened that the victim gets to see the perp go free and yes they met again. People its over and here there are only a few places left were you can be but that only in the daytime then nights its more than dangerous here. That is what the INTERnational socialist has made out of our nations in just 9 years.We the people need to make a stand.

Now this was a ‘spit your coffee out moment’. Somebody somewhere must be taking the piss here!
Rotherham is the child rape capitol of England.
BareNakedIslam says
Just think what inviting children from all over the country to visit Rotherham will do for the Muslim Grooming Gang business there!

Another case of “mental illness”.
Fritz the Cat says
A Volkswagen Golf?
BareNakedIslam says
Just got home, will check to see if any names were released yet.
canuckguynbgmailcom says
Maybe the gas pedal got stuck. (yeah, riiight)
BareNakedIslam says
Even if that happened, they could have steered it away from the market instead of into it.
Siddi Nasrani says
Just now from the BBC.
Three teenagers arrested after a car went into a pedestrianised area where a Christmas market was being held have been bailed.
Shoppers in Congleton were alarmed when a Volkswagen Golf turned down Bridge Street on Saturday afternoon, Cheshire Police said.
No-one was hurt and the car was later found abandoned.
Two boys, aged 16, and a girl, 15, were arrested on suspicion of theft of a motor vehicle and dangerous driving.
They have been released on conditional bail.
Insp Jim Adams said it was not terror-related and urged witnesses to come forward.
BareNakedIslam says
Ok thanks.
Siddi Nasrani says
Your welcome
Fear The Legion says
The new normal, and we can’t do a damn thing about it.
Tim h says
No change there then. We the Muslims don’t have Xmas so we don’t want you to injoy it. Victims can injoy hospital food near Xmas. Just jail them 20 years each
JGO says
20 years?……death!
canuckguynbgmailcom says
They will probably get only 3 years and released after 2 years for good behaviour.
