At least one person has been killed and 14 other people are fighting for life after a car drove into a crowd at Berlin’s pride celebrations.
Berlin police on the social media platform X said they were responding with emergency services to an incident in the city’s central Tiergarten park close to the Brandenburg Gate, where a vehicle struck multiple people on Saturday night.
One person was dead and there were multiple cases of people with life-threatening injuries, the city’s police said on X.
“We are searching intensively for suspects,” police said.
Hundreds of thousands of people had gathered peacefully in the German capital for the annual Christopher Street Day celebrations, one of Europe’s largest Pride events, before the incident ended the festivities.
Emergency services were treating the injured at the scene, police said. The number and severity of injuries were not immediately clear.
