A total of 28 people were injured at Munich, Germany, when an Afghan asylum-seeker intentionally rammed a car into a group of people in the city’s center on Thursday morning, echoing the New Year’s terror attack at New Orleans’ French Quarter.

The suspect drove the white Mini Cooper up to a police vehicle that was in the area to monitor a trade union demonstration near Munich’s central train station around 10:30 a.m. local time before hitting the accelerator and swerving around the car into the crowd of demonstrators, according to Reuters. Among those injured were small children. Two people are believed to be in serious condition.
