A truck plowed into a crowded market in Central Berlin on Monday evening, killing 12 people and injuring 48 others in what Germany’s interior minister said looked like a terror attack.
Police said they had taken one suspect into custody and that another passenger from the truck had died as it crashed into people gathered around wooden huts in the heart of former West Berlin.
The nationality of the suspected driver, who fled the crash scene and was later arrested, was unclear.
Berlin police said they are now investigating leads that the truck had been stolen from a construction site in Poland.
