Authorities in Berlin are investigating religious extremism as a possible motive for the series of crashes on the capital's highway which left six people injured.
A man who deliberately rammed into a number of vehicles on a stretch of Berlin highway got out of his car and shouted"Allahu Akhbar," according to local reports.
After his car was parked, the man got out of his vehicle, put a box on the street and claimed it was a bomb. Police opened the box with a high pressure water jet and it was found to only contain tools, while no traces of explosives were found in his car.
