Berlin Pride Tragedy
At about 10pm local time a white vehicle slammed into the crowd of the Christopher Street Day parade in Tiergarten park near the Brandenburg Gate, killing a woman and injuring 16 others.
Police confirmed the car later crashed into a tree, and a search for the driver began. The suspect was identified as 21‑year‑old Abdul B., who police say has Islamist links. The vehicle and suspect remain at large.
The event was cancelled and attendees were evacuated. Some people were stabbed, and the police have warned the public not to approach the suspect, who may be armed and dangerous.
Authorities urged anyone with information to come forward but cautioned against engaging with the suspect. Abdul B. was reportedly wearing a black hooded top and white trousers at the time of the attack.
Police have broadened the search to the entire city, calling in officers from surrounding states. No motive has been announced yet.
