At least 36 people including a toddler were hurt on Thursday when the 24-year-old man ploughed into demonstrators gathered in the city centre, putting security back in focus before next week’s federal election.
“I’m very cautious about making hasty judgements, but based on everything we know at the moment, I would venture to speak of an Islamist motivation for the crime,“ she added.
The attack came hours before leaders including U.S. Vice President JD Vance and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy arrived in the southern city for the Munich Security Conference, but police said there was no link between the two events.
Tilmann said there was no evidence to suggest the suspect, identified as Farhad Noori, was affiliated with any Islamist or terrorist organisations.
A Munich court was to decide later on Friday whether Noori would remain in investigative custody.
Tilmann said Noori had used social media to present himself as a bodybuilder and an athlete, and had also posted religious content.
That false information had been announced “in the chaos of the early hours,“ he said.
In December, six people were killed in an attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg and last month a toddler and adult were killed in a knife attack in the Bavarian town of Aschaffenburg. Immigrants have been arrested over both attacks.
Conservative Friedrich Merz, the frontrunner to be Germany’s next chancellor, said security would be his top priority, while the far-right AfD, in second place in polls, focused on the suspect’s legal status in Germany.
