Several people were injured when a vehicle drove into a crowd at the Berlin Pride event, leading to an intensive manhunt by police. The incident occurred in the Tiergarten park area, prompting authorities to cancel the annual Christopher Street Day celebration.
Police reported that they believe a vehicle entered the park and struck multiple individuals. Images from the scene show a significant presence of emergency services, with at least one person seen being transported on a stretcher. Emergency personnel are currently treating the injured, although the exact number of casualties remains unclear.
Authorities have urged the public to avoid the area as they search for suspects. The event, which has been a highlight of Berlin's LGBTQ+ calendar, was cut short, with police advising participants to 'go home, please.' The nature of the incident—whether intentional or accidental—has not yet been determined, raising concerns about the safety of attendees at such gatherings.
The CSD parade traditionally concludes at the Brandenburg Gate, a site that has hosted concerts since Friday, making this incident particularly alarming for the community and event organizers.
