Drive into group of people in Ronnenberg
Following a deliberate driving incident with an SUV into a group of people, the suspect turned himself in to police. According to n-tv, the attack occurred on Wednesday evening at around 22:00 in the Empelde district of the city of Ronnenberg in the Hannover region. The 22-year-old driver drove at high speed into the group, fled the scene, but turned himself in at a police station in Wuppertal early Thursday morning. Police are treating the matter as intentional and are investigating on suspicion of attempted murder.
Three young men were injured in the attack. According to police, a 20-year-old is in a life-threatening condition. A 19-year-old sustained severe injuries, and another 19-year-old was slightly injured. The suspect was provisionally arrested and his vehicle impounded. A murder investigation team was established.
Investigators are examining whether a dispute between those involved preceded the attack. According to current findings, there is no connection to a similar incident at the end of October in Neustadt am Rübenberge, also in the Hannover region, where a motorist deliberately drove his vehicle into a group of people. Police emphasise that there is currently no further danger to the public. Police forces are present in the area to speak with witnesses.
