A Syrian migrant was arrested during a fiery rampage in Germany that left 31 people injured, many of them children, according to reports.

The shocking string of events unfolded just after 5 p.m. in Essen, a city in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The 41-year-old suspect first set fire to a residential building in the Essen-Altenessen neighborhood before racing onward in a cargo van to start a blaze at another apartment building, BILD reports.

The Syrian then used his vehicle to ram the facade of a produce market several times.

He then crashed into another shop before exiting the van brandishing a large combat knife in one hand and a machete in the other.

Witness footage indicates the Syrian was wearing a keffiyeh (Islamic headcloth), a Palestinian flag, and other accessories bearing Palestinian flag colors.

Local residents managed to trap the man in the rear of a building where he was finally arrested by German police.

Some 31 people were injured in the residential fires, including eight children, two of whom are reportedly in critical condition.

Authorities initially stated the suspect’s motive was unclear.

An investigation is ongoing.
