THE suspected German Christmas market attacker has been hauled into court by armed cops as he faces five murder charges.
Officials are still fearing the number of deaths could rise with 41 of those injured still in a serious condition. Reports of the market attack were first reported at 7.02pm local time on Friday when a rental BMW veered off a car-friendly road and onto Breiter Weg - a street designed for tram lines only.The driver is believed to have hit several pedestrians here at first before quickly turning right onto Alter Markt where many market revellers had gathered.
The car went "through people" and sent others "going over it", a man standing just feet away from the crash added. Market organisers released a heartfelt statement on the tragedy yesterday that read: "We are in deep mourning, and our hearts and thoughts are with the victims, relatives and helpers. On Saturday night a far-right protest was held in Magdeburg with around 1,000 demonstrators marching through the capital of Saxony-Anhalt.
