German police launch manhunt after fatal vehicle attack at Berlin Pride
German authorities have launched a citywide manhunt after a suspect drove a van into a crowd at Berlin's Pride festival, killing one person and injuring 16 others.
German authorities are conducting an intensive manhunt across Berlin after a white transport van was driven into a crowd during the Christopher Street Day festival on Saturday evening, leaving one woman dead and 16 others injured, several critically. The vehicle rammed attendees near Tiergarten park shortly before 22:00 local time, prompting organizers to halt the parade.
German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt confirmed that preliminary investigations indicate an intentional, Islamist-motivated attack. Police stated that the driver abandoned the vehicle near the scene and fled on foot. Although officials noted that a suspect has been identified, no arrests have been made as local and federal law enforcement agencies coordinate search efforts throughout the capital.
