The scene of the attack has become a makeshift memorial, but a heartless man was filmed seizing the opportunity to steal a large flower bouquet from the bunches on the ground.
He attempted to flee by jumping on a nearby tram, but was not quick enough for police, who dragged him off the vehicle.
He was marched back to the memorial in front of shocked onlookers and forced to return the flowers.
Police then ordered the man away from the area. He was left to wait for a second tram, after the original one left without him.
