A failed Muslim asylum-seeker in Germany has driven through crowds at a trade union demonstration, injuring at least 30 people, including children. At least two of the wounded in Munich were fighting for their lives.
Anti-terror police are investigating what authorities believe was a deliberate attack and a 24-year-old Afghan was arrested after officers shot at the car, police say.
Prosecutors say the suspect has at least “indications of an extremist background”, German news site Zeit Online reports, and Der Spiegel says he is believed to have put Islamist posts on social media before the attack.
The general prosecutor’s office identified him as Farhad Noori, according to Reuters.
His asylum application had been rejected but it had been impossible to deport him, according to Bavaria’s interior minister, Joachim Herrmann.
The suspect was known to authorities for shoplifting and drug offenses, he said.
Witnesses told how the attacker’s car overtook a police vehicle following the rally, then accelerated and plowed into the back of the group.
The Bavarian Central Office for Combating Extremism and Terrorism is leading the investigation.
