Berlin Pride Tragedy: Manhunt Intensifies After Deadly Vehicle Attack

On a sunny Saturday that should have been full of music, colour and celebration, a grim scene unfolded in Berlin’s heart. A car barreled into the bustling crowd at the city’s annual Pride parade, turning joy into chaos within seconds.

The impact was brutal. One person lost their life, and sixteen others were rushed to hospitals with injuries ranging from broken bones to severe trauma. First‑responders worked frantically, while terrified spectators scrambled for safety.

Berlin police quickly identified a suspect – a 21‑year‑old named Abdul B. An image of him has been released to the public, urging anyone with information to come forward. “We are treating this as a terrorist act,” a police spokesperson said, adding that the investigation is ongoing.

Investigators also recovered the vehicle believed to have been used in the attack. It was found abandoned in the city’s Tiergarten park, a sprawling green space that now holds an eerie reminder of the day’s horror.

The city has not only launched a manhunt but also heightened security around public events. Organisers of the Pride parade expressed heartbreak, yet vowed to continue the celebration of love and diversity, honouring those affected.

As the search for Abdul B continues, Berlin remains on edge, hoping for answers and a swift return to safety.
