One officer was seen aiming his gun at the suspect — identified as a Saudi doctor named Taleb al-Abdulmohsen – and shouting commands as the unarmed driver crouched behind his wrecked BMW amid the carnage in Magdeburg.
The two exchanged words before al-Abdulmohsen laid face down on the street, putting his hands behind his back, according to the 50-second clip obtained by the AP.
The video was captured at an intersection from inside a car just inches away from the damaged vehicle that al-Abdulmohsen is suspected of driving through the Christmas market blocks away.
One bystander helped the lone officer when he flagged down a pair of emergency vehicles racing down the street.
Officers jumped out of the van and hopped a railing dividing the road lanes as a dozen other cops rushed the scene to detain the suspected attacker.
Al-Abdulmohsen – identified from a report by The Guardian – had fled to Germany as a Saudi Arabian refugee in 2006 and gained official refugee status in 2016.
The 50-year-old left his home country due to its Islamic government and settled in Bernburg, roughly 28 miles southeast of Magdeburg.
He has worked in the German city as a doctor and psychotherapist since receiving his permanent status, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Despite claims made by the German press, Taleb Al Abdulmohsen is not an ex-Muslim atheist, nor is he a fan of the AfD or Elon Musk. While he may have spread this misinformation himself, it aligns with the practice of Taqqiye, an Islamic doctrine that permits lying and deception to advance Islamic objectives.
In reality, he is a radical Shia Muslim, as evidenced by his name and numerous tweets and chat leaks circulating on Arabic-speaking platforms like X. Disturbingly, his plans to carry out mass killings of Germans were brought to the attention of German authorities by a Saudi woman. Tragically, the police ignored her warnings.

He was a sleeper agent, he had ties to Isi also by direct deduction ties to CIA/foreign agencies.
He was wanted by KSA and German government failed to hand him over.
He drove into a Christian Christmas market; and not any other market. Wake up and smell the coffee.
If Islamists want to practice Taqqiye to Islamify Europe, wouldn't it be smarter to wait to blow their terroristic load when they have already become the majority/competing majority population? Act all nice and integrated so mass migration continues uninterrupted until Islam is the majority and THEN attack? Backlash to these acts of terrorism whilst they're in the minority could lead to the end of their plans. Are they dumb?
Or does spreading fear make people less likely to push back? I mean, many westerners, despite obviously noticing most terrorism comes from Islam, still continue to advocate for open borders. Let's just be so nice the Islamists realise how nice we are and then don't hurt us . It really is pathetic.
So now that we have progressive ex-Muslim Arab Zionists driving through Christmas markets in the name of liberalism can we admit it's not fundamentally about religion and is about race?
As you can see from his other posts, he was very opposed to Hamas, Palestinian statehood, and even supported Greater Israel over the Middle-East.
He wasn't a Muslim, he was a criminal foreigner who should have never been allowed into Germany, and who carried out the attack out of rage at his host nation for not letting in more ex-Muslims like him.
This isn't about abstract "Western values" or the dangers of anti-Zionism, this is about the West being invaded by hostile entitled
