German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that a man who drove a car into a crowd of people in Munich cannot hope for leniency and must leave the country.
"This perpetrator cannot hope for any leniency. He must be punished, and he must leave the country," said Scholz after some 28 people were injured when a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker drove a car into a crowd.

00:00We'll do a statement and a question.
00:05It's terrible what happened today in Munich.
00:09A terrible attack.
00:11Even if not everything is known yet, which we will know at some point,
00:15it is already clear that an Afghan perpetrator has seriously injured people.
00:24And that is something that we can neither tolerate nor accept.
00:28Therefore, it must be very clear that the justice system, with all its possibilities,
00:32goes hard against this perpetrator.
00:35And that we use all the possibilities we have.
00:38It is important to me to say once again that it is very terrible what happened there.
00:43And that the citizens of this country, just like me,
00:46are on the side of the injured and their relatives.
00:49And that we hope that as many people as possible stay healthy in the long run.
00:55It is to be feared that it will not remain without consequences for everyone.
01:00And that is something that we will all carry with us.
01:04From my point of view, once again very clearly,
01:07this perpetrator cannot be held accountable for anything.
01:12He must be punished and he must leave the country.
