| BERLIN — Police in Munich warned of “serious, imminent threat” of a terror attack late Thursday and asked people to stay away from the city’s main train station and a second train station in the city’s Pasing neighborhood. | |
| In a statement posted on Facebook, police said that according to “serious information, there could be an attack tonight.” | |
| The warning came about an hour before the city rang in the new year. | |
| Police said they had received two different, “concrete” tips but did not elaborate on the nature of the threat or who had warned them. | |
| Police in Munich did not immediately answer their phones. | |
| German news agency dpa reported that both train stations had been evacuated and that trains would no longer stop there. | |
| Police asked people to avoid large crowds outside less than an hour before midnight, when Germans usually gather outside to welcome the new year with fireworks. | |
