A 58-year-old German man has driven his vehicle into the front entrance of headquarters of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) at the Willy Brandt House in Berlin, Monday, in an apparent attempt to commit suicide.
The car was covered with petrol canisters and gas cartridges but the headquarters’ sprinkler system managed to extinguished the fire.
The driver has been taken to hospital for treatment; it remains unclear as to why he chose the SPD headquarters.
