One person has died and 15 others were injured, some critically, when a vehicle plowed through a crowd during Berlin's Pride celebrations. The incident took place near the Brandenburg Gate, where the driver abandoned the van after hitting a tree, causing a major disruption.

The Berlin police are actively pursuing the suspect, who fled on foot after the vehicle came to a stop. The attack shattered what was meant to be a peaceful celebration of the annual Christopher Street Day, a prominent event for LGBTQ rights in Europe.
