A dark BMW drove straight into the crowd at speed at the Christmas market in Magdeburg, killing at least two and injuring 68 others, with a child among the fatalities.
Witnesses reported hearing cries and screams, with one food stall operator describing the chaos as reminiscent of a war scene, highlighting the intensity and horror of the event.
The suspect, a 50-year-old doctor from Saudi Arabia identified as Taleb A, first arrived in Germany in 2006 and was recognized as a refugee in 2016.
German state premier Reiner Haseloff called the incident a terrible event, particularly poignant in the days leading up to Christmas, emphasizing the emotional impact.
