A migrant with a known criminal record injured dozens of people on Thursday after he rammed a car into a group of protesters in Munich, Germany.

“The suspect is a 24-year-old man of Afghan nationality,” Munich Police said in a statement. “He drove a car into a gathering in the Seidlstrasse area from behind. According to current information, 28 people were injured, some seriously.”

Police say that they detained the driver, who was driving a Mini Cooper.

Young children were among those who were injured.

The German publication Bild said that the suspect was “known to the police for drug and theft offenses.” Reuters described the suspect as an “Afghan asylum seeker.”

Bavarian Minister-President Markus Söder said the incident was being treated as “an attack.”

“The attack shows that something has to change in Germany – and quickly!” he said.

The incident came less than two months after a Saudi national injured more than 200 people and killed at least six after ramming a car into a Christmas market in the German city of Magdeburg in December.

Saudi Arabia had warned Germany at least three times about the man’s extremist views. Saudi Arabia first warned Germany about the man in 2007, just one year after he entered the country, and requested in 2007 and 2008 that he be extradited to Saudi Arabia.
