What happened during the suspected vehicular attack in Munich and what are the key details authorities have revealed about the incident?

A suspected vehicular attack occurred in Munich when a 24-year-old asylum seeker from Afghanistan drove a white Mini Cooper into a crowd of 1,500 protesters advocating for higher wages. The incident injured at least 30 people, including children, with eyewitnesses reporting the driver appeared to accelerate before hitting the crowd. Police fired a shot before arresting the suspect, who has a criminal record involving drugs and theft and may have an extremist background. The attack happened just one day before a major security conference attended by world leaders including Vice President J.D. Vance. While authorities found no direct link between the incident and the conference, it represents part of a concerning trend of vehicle-ramming attacks in public spaces, following similar incidents in New Orleans and Germany in recent months.
