An Afghan man arrested on suspicion of driving into a crowd of people in Munich has admitted carrying out the attack and appears to have had a religious motivation, German prosecutors say.

Munich public prosecutor Gabriele Tilmann told reporters that the suspect had said "Allahu Akbar" (God is greatest) in Arabic when he was detained and she described the attack as "Islamist motivated".

Police said 36 people were injured in the attack near Munich central station on Thursday, among them a two-year-old girl.
