German authorities are searching for a suspect after a vehicle rammed into participants at the Berlin Pride parade early Sunday, killing one person and wounding 15 others, according to i24NEWS. The manhunt continues.
A manhunt is ongoing in Berlin after a vehicle deliberately rammed into participants at the city's Pride parade early Sunday, killing one person and wounding 15 others, according to i24NEWS. The suspect remains at large as of 01:23 Jerusalem.
The Zioneer's coverage of the incident began at 23:44 Jerusalem, when initial reports emerged of a white commercial vehicle striking pedestrians near Tiergarten. Police quickly confirmed the ramming was intentional and declared a mass casualty event, forcing the cancellation of the parade. By 00:49 Jerusalem, the desk reported that one person had been killed and approximately 15 wounded, based on multiple reports. Earlier unverified reports—including a video circulating on social media appearing to show an arrest—were not confirmed by authorities.
The incident occurred during the Christopher Street Day (Berlin Pride) celebrations in the Großer Tiergarten area. German media and police have not released details on the suspect's identity or motive. A single report mentioned 'family honor' as a potential motive, but this has not been corroborated.
It remains unclear whether the suspect was ever in police custody, as some early reports suggested. No official statement on the manhunt has been issued beyond the confirmation that it is active. The investigation continues.
