German police identified the suspect in the vehicle ramming at the Berlin Pride parade Saturday night as Abdul, a man linked to Islamist activity, and said the manhunt for him is ongoing, according to a police statement.
The vehicle ramming occurred Saturday night during the Christopher Street Day parade in Berlin's Tiergarten, killing one person and wounding 17. As of Sunday morning, Berlin police have identified the suspect as Abdul, a man linked to the Islamist scene, and continue to search for him. The suspect remains at large.
Earlier reports Saturday night at 23:44 Jerusalem initially stated that the suspect had been arrested, but police quickly corrected that no arrest had been made and a manhunt was underway. Within the same overnight coverage, casualty figures were updated from 15 to 17 wounded, with eight in critical condition, including three with life-threatening injuries. Police identified the suspect as a member of the Islamist scene, later specifying him as a 21-year-old Muslim migrant who may be armed. The suspect was named as Abdul B. The attack is being investigated as a terror incident.
The Zioneer reported earlier Sunday that the suspect is a 21-year-old Muslim migrant and may be armed. German police have described the perpetrator as an Islamist element. The attack struck a major LGBTQ+ event in the German capital.
The suspect's precise location and motive remain unconfirmed. The manhunt is ongoing.
