A police spokeswoman said the suspect had been identified as a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker, who has a record for drug offences and theft.

The apparent attack happened at 10.30am local time near Munich’s main railway station on Seidlstrasse. It comes ten days before a general election in Germany in which crime and immigration are key issues.

Some people are believed to have been critically injured and the mayor of Munich, Dieter Reiter, said children were among the victims in the incident involving a white Mini Cooper.

The car is said to have approached the crowd from behind as the protesters walked down the street, closing up to a police vehicle that had been accompanying the demonstration before accelerating and driving into the end of the column.
