The Munich attack suspect is named as 24 year-old Farhad Noori, who was known to the police for theft and drug offences after seeking asylum in Germany from Afghanistan in 2016.
His claim was rejected, but he later received a so-called toleration permit from the German Federal Office for Migration and Refugees.
He is suspected of driving his Mini Cooper into a trade union demonstration, mowing down 28 people. Two of the victims, a mother and her young son, ended up under the car. It is unknown whether the boy will live.
Noori was a competitive body builder and social media influencer, amassing nearly 33k followers on
tiktok and 68k followers on
instagram. Both accounts are now banned. The video above was posted three days ago.
While being arrested today, he could be
heard reciting the Muslim declaration of faith called the Shahada.
