Is there a shared psychology behind car attacks in Germany? DW 03/04/2025
Briefly

A recent car ramming incident in Mannheim during Carnival has reignited fears about vehicle attacks in public spaces. Although authorities are investigating the suspect's mental health, there seems to be no political or religious motive behind the attack. This incident follows a series of similar attacks in Germany, suggesting a worrying trend where vehicles are increasingly used as weapons. While car ramming has historical ties to terror attacks, the recent incidents, lacking a common ideological basis, symbolize a disconcerting challenge for public safety and security.
The rise of car ramming attacks, which have left many dead and injured, reflects a shift in tactics among those seeking to cause harm without clear ideological motives.
Despite the potential motivations being unclear, the use of cars in attacks reveals a critical vulnerability in public spaces that needs to be addressed by security measures.
