Forced into a police van with his head covered, this is the Pakistani asylum seeker believed to have used a hijacked 25-tonne Polish lorry to murder 12 people and injure 48 more at a Berlin Christmas market last night.
Police have towed away the vehicle that ripped through stalls and shoppers on Breitscheidplatz Square in the German capital's main shopping area. Its battered windscreen still had a wreath from a stall embedded in its shattered glass. Witnesses said victims - including children - were sent flying like bowling pins or sucked under the wheels while others ran for their lives as the killer driver steered at them before jumping out of the lorry.
