The authorities, the drivers, entered the demonstration of trade unions in Central Munich, injuring at least 28 people, including children, authorities.
Participants of the demonstration of the Association of Fundamental Workers walked around 10:30 in the morning, when the car overtook the police vehicle after the meeting, accelerated and plowed to the back of the group, the police said.
The deputy head of the police said that the officers arrested the suspect after shooting the car. He added that at least 28 people were thought to be injured, some of them seriously.
There was a damaged mini on the spot, along with rubble, including shoes.
“We pray for the victims – we hope everyone is doing it,” Marus Söder told journalists.
Munich, the mayor of Dieter Reiter said that the children were among the wounded.
Huber said that the suspect was a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeking.
Bavaria's interior minister, Joachim Herrmann, confirmed that the man was an asylum seeker. He said officials believe that the protest was probably randomly directed.
The Minister of Justice of the State, Georg Eisenreich, said that the Department of Prosecutors, who studies extremism and terror, checked this case.
Attack probably not related to the international conference
This incident occurs after a series of attacks with the participation of immigrants in recent months, which pushed migration in honor of the campaign in the elections in Germany in Germany.
Three weeks ago, a two -year -old boy and a man were killed in the attack of a knife in Aschaffenburg, also in Bavaria. The Afghan, whose asylum application was rejected, was suspected in this attack.
Then last year there were attacks of the knife in Mannheim and Solingen, in which they were suspected with immigrants from Afghanistan and Syria, respectively.
In the car on the Christmas market in December in Magdeburg, he was suspected of a Saudi doctor who had previously noted the attention of various regional authorities.
The main conservative opposition block of Germany, in which Söder is an outstanding figure, required a more difficult approach to irregular migration, calling for many other people to turn on the border and growth of deportation.
Limiting migration is also a basic problem for the far -right alternative to Germany (AfD), which surveys took second place behind conservatives. Other parties in the Federal Party must still be part of the coalition from AFD, which is observed by the National Intelligence Agency for suspected right extremism, the allegations that the party rejects.
“Terrible attack”
Chancellor's government Olaf Scholz Central, said that he had already done a lot to limit irregular migration, and opposition plans are unlawful to German and European law.
Scholz described the last incident as a “terrible attack”.
“Everyone who has committed crimes in Germany will not only be seriously punished and must go to prison, but must expect that he cannot continue their stay in Germany – and also for countries to which it is very difficult to send people back,” he said.
Scholz noticed that his government deported convicted criminals to Afghanistan during a flight in August and was working on it again – “and not only once, but constantly.”
In the coming days, the Bavarian capital will be high security, because the three -day security conference in Munich, an annual meeting of international foreign and security officials, opens on Friday.
Herrmann said that the authorities do not think that the car was associated with the conference, but they still have to determine the motive.
