Car races in Munich crowd: 36 injuries in the event of a shocking incident!

A shocking incident occurred on Thursday morning in Munich: A 24-year-old Afghan citizen raced at around 10:30 a.m. with a car into a crowd during a union demo from Verdi. At least 36 people were injured in the attack, including two seriously injured, one of whom is a child. The perpetrator, who had previously had a rejected asylum application, but was legal in the country, was arrested at the scene and is now in custody. According to the "Bild" newspaper, he claimed that Allah had ordered him to act and wanted to "send everyone to paradise".

The investigation was taken over by the federal prosecutor because there are a possible religious motivation and the threat to the democratic order. An investigative judge ordered pre-trial detention for urgent suspicion of 39 times attempted murder. When he was arrested, the perpetrator apparently called "Allahu Akbar" and began to pray. The Munich police reported that a "certain Islamist orientation" was found in his chat courses, and he said goodbye to relatives with the words: "Maybe I'm not there tomorrow.

Investigations regarding the residence status

Originally there was contradictory information about Farhad N.'s residence status. While it was first reported that he was subject to departure, Bavaria's Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann later confirmed that he had a valid residence permit, even if it would take place in April 2025. When arrested, the perpetrator admitted to deliberately into the demonstration, whereby the police assume that the target group was rather by accident.

The special commission, which is increased to more than 100 civil servants, has now searched his apartment, but no evidence of accomplice or a specific planned act was found. The incident occurred not far from the Munich main station and led to an increased willingness to alert in the city, especially with regard to the Munich security conference, which took place at the same time. The Verdi union was "deeply dismayed and shocked" and called for a fair consideration of the events, while the security authorities continue to check carefully whether there are connections to other security sites, as "Tagesspiegel" reported.
