At least 30 people have been injured in Munich after a car was deliberately driven into crowds, just days before Germany's federal elections.
Several victims were seriously hurt in the attack, which occurred on the eve of the Munich Security Conference.
The incident has reignited debates about immigration and security as the country prepares for national polls on 23 February.
The driver, identified in local media as Farhad N, is a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker who was arrested at the scene.
Police have handed the case to counter-terrorism officers following indications the suspect had an "extremist background".
The attack comes amid a series of deadly incidents in Germany, with some allegedly carried out by immigrants.
THIS POLL IS NOW CLOSED
According to the German Press Agency, the suspect arrived in Germany in 2016 as a minor.
His asylum application was rejected the following year in 2017.
The agency reported he was scheduled for deportation in autumn 2020, though this had not been carried out prior to the attack.
Chancellor Olaf Scholz responded forcefully to the attack, stating the driver "must be punished and he must leave the country".
At 6pm, a total of 957 people voted in the poll of the day.
In a landslide outcome, 100 per cent of those who voted said Europe’s open border policy had failed amid the Munich attack.
