''BERLIN (AP) — A driver drove a car into a union demonstration in central Munich on Thursday, injuring at least 28 people including children, authorities said. Officials said it was believed to be an attack.

The suspect, an Afghan asylum-seeker, was arrested. The incident follows a series of attacks involving immigrants in recent months that have pushed migration to the forefront of the campaign for Germany’s Feb. 23 election.

Participants in a demonstration by the service workers’ union ver.di were walking along a street at about 10:30 a.m. when the car overtook a police vehicle following the gathering, accelerated and plowed into the back of the group, police said.''

''News website Spiegel say the suspect is a Kabul-born man named Farhad N.
He is said to have posted Islamist content on social media before the heinous incident.
Farhad N arrived in Germany as an asylum seeker in December 2016 and had his asylum application rejected''.

Driver who hit union rally in ‘suspected attack’ in Munich is Afghan asylum seeker, police say

Children among at least 30 hurt as incident expected to inflame tensions ahead of this month’s election

www.theguardian.com

''The car, a Mini Cooper, accelerated and ploughed into the back of a rally by the Verdi trade union at about 10.30am during a strike by public sector workers. Employees of daycare centres, hospitals, sanitation facilities and public swimming pools had joined the work stoppage calling for higher pay and longer holidays. More than 1,000 people were reportedly at the scene.

Media images showed the damaged Mini Cooper, and several bodies lying on the ground, which was strewn with shoes and stained with blood.

“As reported, the secured person is the driver of the car,” police said on X. “Speculation is swirling about further people being involved. We cannot confirm that at this time.”

Bavaria’s interior minister Joachim Hermann told local media that the suspect was a asylum seeker whose application was rejected, but could not be deported to Afghanistan and was allowed to stay.

From the link :
"Allowed to stay..."
Even though he should really have been deported after the first offences.

A country welcomes you and this is how you treat their citizens ?

"The Munich-based Süddeutsche Zeitung newspaper reported that one woman had died but authorities did not immediately comment...."

Hoping the news is not accurate.
I was thankful if no one died !

This is not to say those who may be maimed are not the lucky ones.
One shattered leg, kneecap, or back can change your life forever.
Praying the injuries were not that serious.

Make the perp leave, somehow. Work it out if possible !!
They need to take action or else this could happen again by someone else.
It's already occurred last year at the Christmas open air market.
Or at least make a stricter vetting process.
Maybe after his initial crimes he should have been booted out.
Smdh.
Imo.

What a mess…unbelievable!



“Bild has reported that that the suspect's name is Farhad N., born in Kabul in 2001.

According to Swiss publication Blick, he was already known to local police for drugs and theft, and drove at around 30mph into the crowd. “

You can see a screenshot of a picture taken 43 weeks ago,with him and the car he used.
Most of his profiles on SM are taken down,now.



Hopefully all wounded will recover from this attack..

I think it's absurd that any country would allow a non-citizen to stay after drug-related charges. Think of what you'd have to be up to find or sell drugs in a new country. You're not trying to find your way. I don't believe people like this are owed residency, even if their country is at war.

Not everyone can integrate well quickly, but if they show they don't mind doing harm in their new country, believe them the first time.

www.spiegel.de

it’s now been rectified
• the suspect had a permit to live and work in germany, he was not a rejected asylum seeker
• the suspect had not been in trouble with police before

he worked as a security guard for a store, seemed to be mostly into bodybuilding until not so long ago.

who's the person that police shot? (the passenger)

it’s odd, there was an eyewitness who said they saw two men in the car, but i haven’t read any other reports about a second person! i wonder if there really were two
people in the car or if in the chaos some things got mixed up
