Tributes have been paid to a nine-year-old boy who was killed in an attack on a German Christmas market.

André Gleißner died after a car drove into a crowd of shoppers at the market in Magdeburg.

A social media post, reportedly attributed to his mother, called André "my little teddy bear" and said he would "always live in our hearts."

Authorities are holding a suspect in pre-trial detention on counts of murder, attempted murder and dangerous bodily harm.

Another tribute came from a fire department in nearby Schöppenstedt which said André was a member of the children's fire brigade in Warle, which is about an hour's drive from Magdeburg.

They says their thoughts are with André's relatives, who they also want to support during this difficult time.

The attack on Friday left more than 200 people injured, with some left in a critical condition.

The four women who were also killed have not yet been identified.
