Police hunt suspect in Berlin attack as Germany grapples with safety fears
German police have identified the suspect as 21-year-old Abdul B. and warned the public that he may be armed and dangerous.
The suspect wanted for the car ramming attack on a Berlin LGBTQ+ Pride parade on Saturday remains on the run today. The attack at one of Europe's largest LGBTQ+ events left one dead and 16 injured.
In a wanted notice issued Sunday, police warned that the man may be armed and dangerous and said the public should avoid "direct contact." The suspect's heavily damaged vehicle remained at the site of the attack on Sunday morning.
Authorities are also working to determine if he acted alone. Investigators believe that one or more people may have left the vehicle after it came to a stop. Some victims also suffered stab wounds, raising the possibility that others were involved in the attack, but authorities have not confirmed that.
Berlin's fire service said that of the injured, three have life-threatening injuries, eight were seriously injured, and five had slight injuries. Police have not identified the deceased victim.
Before the attack, huge crowds had spent hours celebrating peacefully. The event, in front of Berlin's iconic Brandenburg Gate, featured dozens of floats, live music and a march.
