The unnamed man then drove into the centre of Bottrop where he slammed into a crowd of Syrian and Afghan citizens.

He injured a four-year-old Afghan boy and his mother, 29, as well as a 10-year-old Syrian girl.

The driver sped off toward the nearby city of Essen after he struck the crowd, where he tried and failed to hit more people waiting at a bus stop before being arrested. 

Police in the city of Munster said a judge had approved a request by prosecutors to formally charge him with multiple counts of attempted murder.

All but one of the eight people injured were from Syria and Afghanistan. 

An eighth man who suffered a leg injury was identified as a 34-year-old German-Turk from Essen.  

A 46-year-old Syrian woman who suffered life-threatening injuries is recovering in hospital after an emergency operation, police said.

Authorities said the driver made racist comments during his arrest.

The region's interior minister, Herbert Reul, said the accused 'had the clear intention to kill foreigners'.

The man was not formerly known to police.

According to Spiegel Online, he has been treated for schizophrenia in the past.

The unemployed man reportedly told police that 'the high number of foreigners is a problem for Germany that he wants to solve,' said Spiegel.

In April, a German man drove a van into a crowd in Muenster, killing four people and injuring dozens. 

The driver, who had sought psychological help in the weeks preceding the attack, then killed himself.

On December 19, 2016, a Tunisian man ploughed a truck into a busy Christmas market in Berlin, killing 12 people. 

The attack was later claimed by ISIS. The driver, who fled the scene, was later killed in a shootout with police in Italy.

Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
