A two-year-old girl and her mother have died from injuries they suffered in a car-ramming attack on Thursday in the German city of Munich that left around 40 others injured, local police said.
"Unfortunately, we have to confirm the deaths today of the two-year-old child and her 37-year-old mother," police spokesman Ludwig Waldinger said.
An Afghan man was arrested on suspicion of deliberately driving a car into a trade union demonstration on Thursday.
Police said the 24-year-old asylum seeker, identified by German media as Farhad N., may have had Islamist extremist motives for the attack.
After the incident, the suspect uttered the words "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) to police officers and also prayed, prosecutor Gabriele Tilmann said on Friday.
The carnage came shortly before Germans head to the polls for 23 February election where immigration is a key issue following a spate of attacks blamed on migrants.
