The shocking moment was captured on video by passers-by: the arrest of the suspected perpetrator of the fatal attack, Taleb A., at a Christmas market in Magdeburg.
At least five people, including a small child, were killed when a car drove into the crowd at the Christmas market at high speed. Dozens of other people were injured. The suspect, a 50-year-old Saudi psychiatrist who came to Germany in 2006, was arrested shortly after the crime.
The video shows the man falling to the ground with his hands up in a busy street before armed police surround him. The officers then handcuff him. A dark vehicle can be seen next to the crime scene.
Frightening: In the video you see passers-by observing the scene from relatively close range, while it is still unclear whether the attacker was armed or whether an explosive was hidden in the car.
The investigation into the background of the crime is in full swing. Police are investigating the suspect’s possible motives as the city stands united in mourning the victims.
