The 37-year-old woman and two-year-old child are the first fatalities from last week’s attack.
Mother and child die from injuries in Munich car attack
EPAA mother, 37, and her two-year-old daughter have died from injuries suffered during a car ramming attack in Munich earlier this week, police have said.
At least 37 people were injured when a car was driven into a crowd on Thursday.
The driver was a 24-year-old Afghan asylum seeker, police said, and was identified in local media as Farhad N.
He was arrested at the scene and due in court on Friday.
“Unfortunately, we have to confirm the deaths today of the two-year-old child and her 37-year-old mother,” police spokesman Ludwig Waldinger told news agency AFP.
Thursday’s car-ramming in the heart of Munich came 10 days before Germans go the polls in federal elections overshadowed by a series of earlier attacks carried out by immigrants.
Two of the alleged attackers had come from Afghanistan.
