A suspect has appeared in court after an attack on a Christmas market in Germany on Friday that killed five people and injured more than 200 others.

The suspect, a doctor from Saudi Arabia, named Talib Al-Abdul Mohsen, arrived in Germany in 2006 and was recognized as a refugee in 2016.

It comes as German authorities face increasing backlash after the alleged attacker used a lane for emergency vehicles to enter the market.

On a visit on Saturday, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, ministers and regional political leaders were heckled by members of the public, some of whom appeared angry at what was criticized as a security lapse.
