Federal prosecutors described 24-year-old Anis Amri as being of average height and weight, with black hair and brown eyes.

Prosecutors warned that the suspect could be “armed and dangerous”, and urged members of the public to notify police if they see him.

Twelve people were killed and 48 others were injured - 12 seriously - when a truck ploughed into the popular Berlin market on Monday evening. Islamic State (IS) has claimed responsibility.
