A 24-year-old Afghan man, identified as Farhad N, has been arrested and admitted to intentionally driving his Mini Cooper into a crowd in Munich, injuring 36 people. The suspect, who had a valid residence and work permit in Germany, appeared to have a religious motivation for the attack.
The incident occurred near Munich central station, where a trade union protest was taking place, and left two people, including a two-year-old girl, in critical condition. The suspect is due to appear in court and authorities have found no evidence of a link to a jihadist group.
