A suspect has appeared in court after an attack on a German Christmas market on Friday that left five people dead and more than 200 injured.
The suspect is a doctor from Saudi Arabia named Taleb al-Abdulmohsen. He arrived in Germany in 2006 and was recognized as a refugee in 2016.
German authorities are facing a growing backlash after attackers allegedly used emergency vehicle access to drive into the market.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, ministers and regional political leaders were heckled by members of the public during their visit on Saturday, some of whom appeared angry over criticism of security lapses.
