The flight from Berlin landed safely in Memmingen, about 115 km (70 miles) west of Munich, after bad weather prompted the pilot to initiate the emergency landing, Bavaria police said in a statement.

Among the injured were a woman who sustained a head injury, her two-year-old toddler who suffered bruises and a 59-year-old woman complaining of back pain, police said. All three were treated in hospital, while other injuries were treated at the scene.

Ryanair said in a statement on Thursday that the flight’s captain had requested medical assistance ahead of landing.

The airline, which apologised to those affected, saidit provided a bus service from Memmingen to Milan late on Wednesday as well as a replacement flight early on Thursday.
