Watch: Emergency services respond to Munich incident
An Afghan asylum seeker drove at a group of people in Munich, police say, injuring at least 28
Officers are treating the incident as a suspected attack - the suspect was known to police for theft and drug offences
Local media have named the 24-year-old suspect as Farhad N. Reports say he came to Germany in 2016 - he had his asylum application rejected, but his deportation was suspended
Police say counter-terrorism officers have taken over the investigation due to indications the suspect has an "extremist background"
The car accelerated before hitting a trade union rally; an officer fired one shot at the suspect before he was arrested, they add
The crash happened hours before the US vice president and Ukrainian president were due to arrive in the city for the Munich Security Conference - but police say they don't believe it's related
