The suspicion that the car-ramming at the Berlin Pride parade was a terrorist attack is growing, as police continue the manhunt for the suspect. The suspect is described as a 21-year-old Muslim migrant who may be armed, according to N12.
The suspect in the Berlin Pride parade ramming has been identified by police as a 21-year-old Muslim migrant who may be armed, according to N12. The manhunt continues, and the suspect remains at large. This new detail builds on the earlier identification of the suspect as a member of the Islamist scene, reported by The Zioneer at 03:50 Jerusalem on Sunday.
The incident began late Saturday night when a vehicle rammed into participants at the Berlin Pride parade. Police confirmed the ramming was intentional and declared a mass casualty event. By 23:44 Jerusalem on Saturday, The Zioneer reported that one person was killed and approximately 15 were wounded. Initial reports indicated the suspect was arrested, but police later clarified that a manhunt was underway. The suspect was first identified as an Islamist scene member in a subsequent update.
The attack has raised alarm across Germany, with security measures being reviewed, as The Zioneer reported in earlier updates. The suspect's profile as a Muslim migrant who may be armed reinforces the terrorism assessment.
Authorities have not released the suspect's name or a photograph. The exact location of the suspect remains unknown, and the condition of the wounded has not been independently verified.
