From the article:
A 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker drove a car into a crowd of people in the German city of Munich on Thursday, injuring at least 28 people, police have said.
Officers said they were treating the incident as a suspected attack and the suspect, who has been arrested, was known to police for theft and drug offences.
...
Munich police said the car, a Mini Cooper, accelerated and ploughed into the back of a rally by the Verdi trade union at about 10:30 local time during a strike by public sector workers.
Employees of day-care centres, hospitals, sanitation facilities and public swimming pools had joined the strike, calling for higher pay and longer holidays.
More than 1,000 people were reportedly at the scene.
A major response operation was launched in the Dachauer Strasse area and one shot was fired at the vehicle by police before the driver was detained at the scene.
The most interesting part of that article?
"According to the the German Press Agency, the suspect came to Germany in 2016 as a minor but had his asylum application rejected in 2017 and has been required to leave the country since autumn 2020."
Dafuq? What the hell was he still doing there?
