Extract: The 21-year-old refugee, who was known to police, was only stopped when a brave BMW driver apparently ploughed into him
A pregnant woman is dead and at least two others are injured after a machete-wielding Syrian refugee allegedly attacked passersby on a German street.
The 21-year-old randomly hacked at terrified members of the public with the 12-inch blade in the city of Reutlingen this afternoon, it is reported.
A mum-to-be was killed in the horrific rampage near a kebab stand, while another woman and a man suffered unspecified injuries, according to local media.
The bearded refugee, described as 'completely out of his mind', was only stopped when a brave BMW driver apparently ploughed into him.

He was arrested by cops as he lay 'motionless' on the pavement.
Police have since said there is 'no indication' he was linked to terrorism.This evening, police said the man is a Syrian asylum seeker who had been involved in previous incidents causing injuries to other people.
"Someone driving a BMW then accelerated and ran him over. He lay on the ground and did not move," they said.
