Several cars burnt in Berlin ahead of May Day protests

Berlin has seen a new outbreak of car burning during Walpurgis night, the traditional holiday on the eve of annual May Day protests in the German capital.

A white Mercedes C-Class was set on fire in central Berlin overnight into Monday. The aftermath of the arson was captured on a Ruptly video.

The fire was promptly put out by a fire brigade and there have been no reports about casualties.

At about 3am local time, the fire brigade in Berlin-Wedding locality had responded to a call that two cars were set alight. It didn’t take much time to extinguish the fire. Both vehicles, however, reportedly an Audi and a mini-van, are beyond repair according to the Berliner Zeitung.
