emma rushton was there.poke so "the daily mail." >> it was just crashing through people, crashing through the huts, it pulled the lights down. >> it's really disconcerting to think that the idea somebody could drive a truck into a market where you're shopping for christmas presents or buying a christmas tree is unbelievable. >> reporter: the market seen here in these earlier photos was considered to be the equivalent of new york's times square. berlin now a city on high alert as police search for any motive investigating an act of terrorism. >> i saw one guy being dragged away with blood on his face. i helped several other people lift the side of one of the stalls up so that they could pull two other people out. >> reporter: the truck had polish license plates. berlin police suspect it was stolen from a polish building site. officials say there were two people in the truck, one who died in the crash and is confirmed to be a polish citizen. another fled the scene and has now been captured. berlin police belie

including my next guest, emma rushton. she was at the market. she witnessed the crash. she joins me now on the phone. emma, i'm so glad you are safe. impossible to imagine you're out, right, you're celebrating, you're getting last-minute christmas gifts. you were there when this attack happened. what did you see? >> so, i mean, we saw a lot of it, to be honest. we'd gone down to the german christmas market. we arrived here at lunchtime today. we've never been to berlin before. wanted to see the festivities. we'd gone and got some mulled wine and we were in a booth behind the hut where we bought it from when we heard an almighty, bang, crash from the left side of us. so we looked over, the christmas lights overhanging the market started to be torn down then we saw the articulated vehicle go from our left to our right, crashing into people, crushing into huts, completely decimated the hut where we bought the mulled wine from. so it was sort of eight to ten feet in front of us. we were so incredibly lucky to be, you know, that many feet back and had not left two minutes ea
