A speeding vehicle plowed into a crowd of people in Berlin’s Tiergarten park late Saturday evening, leaving at least one person dead and 16 injured as police launched a manhunt for the perpetrator. <\/p>\n
Dramatically unfolding late Saturday evening in Berlin, an unknown perpetrator drove a speeding car into a crowd of people socializing in the Tiergarten park. At least one person is dead and 16 are injured, with the incident occurring not far from where the Pride Parade was taking place.<\/p>\n
German media report that the health condition of several injured individuals is critical. The tragedy took place in the popular Berlin park located in the very city center, near the Brandenburg Gate and Potsdam Square.<\/p>\n
The tabloid Bild reports, citing witnesses, that a white van drove into the crowd of people. On Saturday, a multi-thousand-strong Pride Parade took place in central Berlin, with festival participants celebrating Christopher Street Day in the German capital, marking one of the largest annual events of its kind in Europe.<\/p>\n
Following the attack, the event was concluded, and organizers alongside police urged those gathered to head home. Authorities closed off access to the Potsdam Square area while the search for the perpetrator or perpetrators continues, with motives still unknown.<\/p>\n
German special units and police helicopters are involved in the operation. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz is being kept continuously informed about the situation.<\/p>\n
German police provided new information on Sunday morning regarding the attacker. The suspect behind the car attack during Saturday’s Pride Parade in Berlin has been identified as a member of the Berlin “islamist scene” and has not yet been arrested, according to Berlin police spokesperson Florian Nath.<\/p>\n
Nath added that “actions are ongoing against the suspect,” explaining that police conducted several operations, including searching an apartment in the Schoeneberg district, but “no arrest was made because no one was found there.” He noted that due to the ongoing investigation, he could not provide further information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
