RB Leipzig will wear black armbands during their Bundesliga match against St Pauli on Saturday in remembrance of the victims of a deadly car-ramming attack in the eastern German city of Leipzig.

"The events in Leipzig's city centre on Monday left us deeply shocked. Our thoughts are with the victims, as well as their families and loved ones, and everyone affected by this horrific attack," the club said on X on Wednesday.

The under-19 team will also participate in the action. A moment of silence will be observed before kick-off at each match.

"RB Leipzig is thus sending a collective, silent message of sympathy and solidarity with our city," the club said.

According to preliminary findings, a 33-year-old man drove a vehicle into a pedestrian shopping street in central Leipzig on Monday. Several people were struck by the car before it came to a halt, with the driver surrendering to police without resistance while still inside the vehicle.

A total of six people aged 21 to 87 were injured, Leipzig police said.

They said a woman aged 84 and a man aged 75 sustained serious injuries. A 63-year-old woman and a 77-year-old man were killed.
