BMW races through Darmstadt, one person seriously injured: Driver acted "on Allah’s orders"!
According to Welt, the 24-year-old driver of the BMW is said to have told police officers after his arrest that he had acted on Allah's orders. Welt learned this from security authorities. The man is said to be German with Afghan roots.
Investigators concealed Islamist background
According to the report, the State Criminal Police Office (LKA) initially deliberately withheld information about the driver's Islamist statement.
Around midday, shortly before 12 noon, there was a violent collision between the BMW and a Skoda on the Frankfurter Landstrasse in Darmstadt on Monday. Eyewitnesses had previously observed the BMW racing at excessive speed through the 40 km/h zone in the Arheilgen district. "The driver is said to have left the road several times and run red lights. Fortunately, passers-by were able to react quickly and get to safety," the police said in a statement in the evening.
Assassin in police custody
Eventually an accident occurred in which a 29-year-old Skoda driver was seriously injured. The fire brigade had to free him from the completely destroyed vehicle before he was taken to hospital. The BMW only came to a stop in front of an empty shop after it had been completely demolished.
The driver was arrested by the police and also taken to hospital, but was released later. According to Welt , he is now in police custody. A decision on a possible arrest warrant is expected to be made later today.
The Hessian State Criminal Police Office had already taken over the investigation on Monday, as it could not be ruled out that the incident was intentional. Welt reports that the Federal Criminal Police Office has now also been informed. A spokesperson for the authority confirmed that the BKA was aware of the incident.
