Two train stations in Germany’s capital Munich were evacuated and train service stopped on New Year’s Eve, a spokesman for the Munich police said, citing concerns of a possible terror plot.

German media quoting state officials reported that the planned suicide attacks were connected to ISIS.

Police have received “concrete information that strongly indicates that there are possible plans for terror attacks in Munich, specifically against the main train station and the railway station in (the western district of) Pasing.”

Munich police said officials had deemed the information about the threat of an attack on New Year’s Eve as serious and credible.

Authorities told the public additional officers were being called in to find possible suspects.
