A vehicle ramming attack at the Berlin Pride parade late Saturday night left at least one person dead and around 15 injured, German police said early Sunday. The suspect was arrested after a manhunt. The incident began around 23:44 local time, when a white commercial vehicle drove into a crowd near the Tiergarten park, where the Christopher Street Day (Berlin Pride) events were concluding. Police declared a mass-casualty incident and the organizers ordered the evacuation of the final rally. At 00:23, Berlin police stated the ramming was intentional and launched a large-scale manhunt. Footage from the scene showed the driver being arrested shortly after 00:31. By 00:43, German police confirmed at least one fatality, and Israeli media later reported approximately 15 wounded. The motive remains under investigation. Initial unverified assessments from some channels suggested the suspect may have been an illegal immigrant, but police have not confirmed this. The investigation is ongoing.
