A motorist hit the fence of the office of German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday. Little is known about the incident. The driver has been arrested.
Photos of the incident do show that the vehicle contains the texts “Stop the globalization politics” and “You damn murderers of children and the elderly”.
Because of the texts on the car, it seems to be a targeted action, but that has not yet been confirmed. Police in Berlin say this is still under investigation. Dozens of agents are on the scene.
The driver of the now relocated car has been arrested and taken away in a wheelchair. It is not clear whether the man has injuries. The police have not made any statements about this.
No major damage to the gate and car
The Chancellor’s office is in Berlin opposite the building where the German Parliament meets. The fence at the building does not appear to be seriously damaged in the photos. The car does not seem to have suffered any major damage.
Merkel would lead an online meeting with regional leaders Wednesday morning to discuss current and possibly additional corona measures.
