A TikTok video circulating online shows a man identified by social media users as the suspect in the Berlin ramming attack denying any involvement. In the video, the man says, 'Please help, I'm not involved in the attack, but I've been accused.' Authorities have not confirmed whether the person in the video is the suspect, and the claim has not been independently verified.
A TikTok video circulating Sunday afternoon shows a man identified by social media users as the suspect in the Berlin ramming attack denying any involvement. In the video, the man says, "Please help, I'm not involved in the attack, but I've been accused." Authorities have not confirmed whether the person in the video is the suspect, and the claim has not been independently verified.
The Zioneer first reported on the attack at 14:31 Jerusalem, when Berlin police arrested an Iranian citizen suspected of involvement in the ramming that occurred overnight. A subsequent report at the same time confirmed that the suspect was in the vehicle during the ramming. The suspect's identity has not been officially released.
The video is the first public statement purportedly from the suspect since the attack. It remains unclear when and where the video was recorded, and whether it was posted by the suspect or by others. The Zioneer has previously reported on the use of TikTok in criminal and terror-related contexts, though there is no indication that this case is connected to those reports.
The authenticity of the video and the suspect's claimed denial remain unverified. German authorities have not commented on the video. The investigation into the attack continues.
