Andreas N., 50, has been charged with multiple counts of attempted murder

A 50-year-old man who drove his car into crowds celebrating New Year in a suspected racist attack has been charged with attempted murder.

Andreas N. first attempted to drive the silver Mercedes into a group of people in the western city of Bottrop shortly after midnight, but the pedestrians were able to jump out of the way.

The suspect then drove into the centre of Bottrop where he slammed into a crowd of Syrian and Afghan citizens.

He injured a four-year-old Afghan boy and his mother, 29, as well as a 10-year-old Syrian girl.

The driver sped off toward the nearby city of Essen after he struck the crowd, where he tried and failed to hit more people waiting at a bus stop before being arrested.

Police in the city of Munster said a judge had approved a request by prosecutors to formally charge him with multiple counts of attempted murder.

All but one of the eight people injured were from Syria and Afghanistan. 

An eighth man who suffered a leg injury was identified as a 34-year-old German-Turk from Essen.  

A 46-year-old Syrian woman who suffered life-threatening injuries is recovering in hospital after an emergency operation, police said.

Authorities said the driver made racist comments during his arrest.

The region's interior minister, Herbert Reul, said the accused 'had the clear intention to kill foreigners'.

The man was not formerly known to police.

According to Spiegel Online, he has been treated for schizophrenia in the past.

The unemployed man reportedly told police that 'the high number of foreigners is a problem for Germany that he wants to solve,' said Spiegel.

In April, a German man drove a van into a crowd in Muenster, killing four people and injuring dozens. 

The driver, who had sought psychological help in the weeks preceding the attack, then killed himself.

On December 19, 2016, a Tunisian man ploughed a truck into a busy Christmas market in Berlin, killing 12 people. 

The attack was later claimed by ISIS. The driver, who fled the scene, was later killed in a shootout with police in Italy.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.

Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”

Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
