Authorities said there are indications that the suspects on the “substantial attack” have a “radical background.” Police say one officer fired a gunshot at the car, causing the suspect to be slightly injured but not killed. He was arrested at the scene.

Some reports alleged he was known to police for drug and theft cases in Munich, but police said he was a witness in several trials, not defendant.
Authorities said there were children among the injured, and at least two people were seriously injured.
“There are a lot of injuries. It's a slap in the face,” said Marcus Sader, Gov. Beibaria. “We sympathize with people, but we also need to make a decision to change things in Germany.”
Vice President JD Vance was scheduled to visit major security meetings in Munich with other global leaders on Friday.

The alleged attack comes just 10 days before Germany holds federal elections.
