'Islamist' Iraqi screaming 'Allahu Akbar' causes multiple crashes on Berlin motorway while driving car with fake bomb on the roof before he is overpowered by police
Six people have been injured, three of them severely, after a suspected terror attack on a motorway in Berlin overnight.
A
30-year-old Iraqi man driving a black Opel Astra is thought to have
deliberately crashed into several motorbikes and scooters while shouting
'Allahu Akbar'.
He then got out of the
car and placed a box on the roof, claiming it was a bomb and that he
would detonate it if anyone approached, investigators told German media.
Armed police rushed to the scene and eventually overpowered the man and opened the box, which was found to contain tools, Bild reported.
The man has since been arrested and police are working on the assumption that the accidents were caused deliberately.
The man appears to have had an 'Islamist motivation according to our current knowledge', prosecutors said.
