Germany’s Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke to crowds in Magdeburg, after the attack that has left at least five people dead and over 200 injured.
Addressing reporters, the chancellor said that "normally a Christmas market is a very peacefully and joyful place… what a dreadful tragedy it is that so many people were injured and killed with such brutality in a place like that."
He added that Germany will provide support to those who have been affected by the attack, including those who helped the victims.
