Berlin police say they have identified the suspect in the car-ramming at the Berlin Pride parade, describing him as a member of the 'Islamist scene.' The suspect was previously reported to be a 21-year-old Muslim migrant who may be armed, as The Zioneer reported earlier this morning.
Berlin police announced early Sunday that the suspect in the car-ramming attack at the Berlin Pride parade has been identified as a member of the 'Islamist scene,' as reported at 23:44 Saturday. The suspect is a 21-year-old Muslim migrant who may be armed, and police continue the manhunt, according to the latest information.
As The Zioneer reported at 23:44 Saturday, a vehicle rammed into participants at the Christopher Street Day (Berlin Pride) celebrations in the Großer Tiergarten area, killing one person and wounding around 15 others. Police confirmed the ramming was intentional. Initial reports of an arrest proved unverified; by the same hour, police stated that the suspect had fled and a manhunt was underway. At 04:00 Sunday, The Zioneer reported that the suspect was described as a 21-year-old Muslim migrant who may be armed.
The attack forced the cancellation of the Pride parade. The incident has raised concerns of terrorism, as The Zioneer reported in earlier updates. The suspect's name has not been released, and he remains at large, possibly armed. The investigation continues.
