Car rammed by Afghan asylum seeker injured 28 people in Germany

KABUL (Pajhwok):  At least 28 people have been injured after a car drove into a crowd of demonstrators in Munich Germany, a media report said on Thursday.

Police say the suspect is a 24-year-old Afghanistan national who has been apprehended at the scene of the incident, which the authorities believe was intentional.

The driver, identified as a 24-year-old Afghanistan-born man currently in Germany as an asylum seeker, was arrested on-site and posed no further danger, authorities confirmed.

Bavaria's Minister President Markus Söder said the incident was "presumably an attack". Munich's Mayor Dieter Reiter said that "many people have been injured, including children."

Söder, the leader of the Christian Social Union (CSU), said in the aftermath of the attacks that the incident shows that "something has to change in Germany and quickly".
