It’s nearly 11pm here, so I doubt much more will become known until sometime tomorrow - police will, of course, investigate overnight but I doubt they will brief the press until tomorrow again.

So far we have seen a brief press conference with a senior police officer who has said that they are still trying to definitively identify the perpetrator - the impression was they have identified him from the car registration but are trying to get a more formal identification. He is a serious condition in hospital with severe burns. They do not know his motivations yet but are keeping an open mind about the possibility of terrorist connections. He was parked in the driveway of the police station - when police approached to question him, he set the interior of his car alight and attempted to ram his way into the underground carpark - fortunately that entrance had recently been fortified with a heavy metal gate and it prevented him gaining entrance. Police officers at risk to their own lives pulled him from his burning vehicle - I think that’s very important to note - the police risked their lives to save a man who showed every sign of wanting to try and kill them.
