Car plows into Munich crowd in 'suspected attack,' authorities say
Briefly

A car ramming incident in Munich injured at least 28 people, including children, during a union strike. A 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker, considered the driver, was arrested immediately. Local officials, including Bavaria's Premier Markus Söder, suggested it was a suspected attack. The authorities had no evidence linking the incident to the upcoming Munich Security Conference. This situation heightens alarm in Germany, already tense following recent attacks that have sparked debates over migration and asylum policies ahead of the national elections on February 23.
The driver, identified as a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker, was immediately detained by authorities.
Video from the aftermath showed the vehicle, with signs of severe damage, sitting in the road.
