In Düsseldorf, in western Germany, police evacuated the Christmas market in the city center this afternoon after a possible threat. All attendees had to leave the market at about 3 p.m. and several streets were closed off. Heavily armed police officers were on site in large numbers, a witness tells our editors. The roadblocks were lifted around 6 p.m., but the Christmas market will remain closed all evening, reports the ‘Rheinische Post’.
