The motives of the perpetrator, who crashed a car into a crowd of citizens in West Berlin, Germany, remain unclear. The incident has tragically killed one person, while the injured number more than 12, some of them seriously.
According to Germany's Bild, after the driver crashed into the crowd, he allegedly first reversed the car and then came to a stop after being "pinned" inside a shop.
The driver of the silver Renault Clio has been arrested.
Initially he fled, but passers-by arrested him and handed him over to the police.

A police spokesman said the driver of the car "was clearly aware of what had happened" but is investigating whether it was an accident or deliberate act, evoking memories of the 2016 terror attack.
In fact, both incidents occurred near Breitscheidplatz, where on 19 December 2016, Tunisian Anis Amri, after stealing a truck and killing its driver, drove into a crowd of citizens at a Christmas market.
The attack resulted in the death of 11 people and the injury of dozens more civilians.
The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack at the time.
