German man rams car into crowd in ´racist attack´

A 50-year-old German man clearly intended to kill foreigners when he rammed his silver Mercedes into a crowd of people in the northwest German town of Bottrop in the early hours of New Year's Day, injuring four, a senior government official has said.

Police said the man, who was not named, made racist comments when he was stopped and arrested in the nearby city of Essen after fleeing the scene of the attack.
