A vehicle struck a crowd at a Berlin Pride event over the weekend, leaving one person dead and at least 29 others injured, according to initial reports. The incident unfolded during celebrations in the German capital and prompted a major emergency response.
Reports identified the suspected driver as Abdul Ballout, a 21-year-old German national. He was later shot and killed by police after the attack, authorities said.
The full circumstances of the Berlin Pride crowd incident were not immediately clear, including what led up to the vehicle entering the crowd. Investigators are expected to examine the suspect’s movements, the security situation around the event, and whether the act was deliberate.
The attack has cast a shadow over one of the city’s major public gatherings, with officials focused on the victims and the ongoing inquiry. Further updates are likely as police continue to piece together what happened and confirm the condition of those injured.
