Car attack in Munich! A car drove into a group of people in the Bavarian capital. According to the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior, at least 28 people were injured. According to the police, two of the injured were seriously injured. The police do not believe that the incident was an accident. The perpetrator is said to be a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker who, according to ARD, was required to leave the country. Bavaria's Prime Minister Markus Söder spoke of an "attack".

The Afghan deliberately drove into the strikers at a Verdi rally. First he overtook a police car and then drove into the crowd, according to the authorities. According to information from NIUS, the incident occurred at around 10:30 a.m. - at the intersection of Dachauer Strasse and Seidlstrasse near Königsplatz.

An eyewitness told NIUS: "There was a loud bang. Then suddenly the car was in the crowd." Another eyewitness reported: "There was a bang, then a shot." Someone in the crowd shouted: "Move aside, someone has driven into the crowd!" A video on the internet shows the arrest after the crime:

The Afghan perpetrator can be identified on it. He is said to have been known to the police for drug-related offences and shoplifting before his crime. There are no other perpetrators, the police say. The person arrested is therefore the driver of the car.

The police wrestle him to the ground....

In the background of the video, the voice of a man can be heard, presumably the person recording the video: "That bastard! That son of a bitch!" A police officer shouts into the crowd: "We need more space, please move back!"

The video appears to show a person being rescued from the crime scene. "He ran them over! Look, they're lying there," a man shouts.
