BERLIN (Reuters) - Residents of Berlin warned on Tuesday against making hasty judgements about asylum-seekers after a 23-year-old Pakistani man was arrested in connection with a truck attack on a Christmas market that killed 12 people.

Oliver Horn, a German architect, put up a poster in French next to a pile of flowers near the attack site in West Berlin reading "Meme pas peur" (Not even scared!), a slogan that was used to show solidarity after the Paris attacks last year.
