Video: Moment car ploughed 400 metres into crowded Germany Christmas market

At least two people, including a young child, were killed, and over 60 others injured when a Saudi Arabian man living in Germany drove an SUV at high speed through a crowd of revellers at a Christmas market in Magdeburg. The incident occurred at around 7.00 pm local time.

CCTV footage shows the man driving through the market for over 400 meters, striking several people.

The suspect, identified as Taleb A., a 50-year-old medical doctor from Saudi Arabia residing in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, has been arrested, according to regional officers.

Another video showed the driver’s arrest, with police aiming their handguns and shouting, "Lie down, hands on your back, don't move!" at the bearded man wearing glasses, who was lying on the ground next to the heavily damaged vehicle.
