At least five people have been killed in an attack on a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany and more than 200 people were injured.
He was arrested on Friday evening at the site of the attack as medical officials tended to the injured, and was taken into custody for questioning. Several German media outlets identified the man as Taleb A, withholding his last name in line with privacy laws, and reported that he was a specialist in psychiatry and psychotherapy, according to PA.
The violence shocked the country and the city, bringing its mayor to the verge of tears and marring a festive event that is part of a centuries-old German tradition. It prompted several other German towns to cancel their weekend Christmas markets as a precaution and out of solidarity with Magdeburg’s loss.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Reiner Haseloff, state premier of Saxony-Anhalt, said that five people had been killed in the attack, the BBC reports.
