A car driven by an unknown person hit the fence of German Chancellor Angela Merkel's Berlin.

Police arrested the driver and said they were investigating the case if the incident happened deliberately.

According to Reuters photos from the scene, messages were also written in the car that hit the gate.

“Bild” reports it is possible that this is a politically motivated attack, and they claim the same driver has already hit the same fence six years ago.

Neither the fence nor the car were badly damaged. At the moment of the incident, the German Chancellor was preparing to hold a virtual meeting with the prime ministers of the land in order to consider further measures to prevent the spread of the coronary.

Whether there were any injuries or Chancellor Merkel was in the building at the time of the incident is unknown. Tens of police officers and a fire truck were at the scene.

According to German media, the same car hit the convention gate in 2014, and a person was questioned.

Chancellor Angela Merkel and cabinet members were not in danger at any time when the car crashed into her office's gate, a German government spokesman said today. According to him, the sting only led to less material damage.

At the same time, as a police spokeswoman told Reuters, Berlin police have no doubt that an extremist attack had been carried out.

“We are not working on that assumption at this time,” she said when asked whether police suspected it was a terrorist attack.
