A woman was killed and 16 others injured when a car was driven into crowds at a Christopher Street Day Pride event in Berlin's Tiergarten park on Saturday night, in an attack German Chancellor Friedrich Merz condemned as "heinous". Some victims were also stabbed. Police have identified a 21-year-old suspect, named only as Abdul B under German law, who is reported to have Islamist links and remains at large despite an intensive manhunt involving thousands of officers across the city.

The attack occurred around 22:00 local time near the Brandenburg Gate, prompting organisers to cancel the event and evacuate hundreds of thousands of attendees. Police later found the abandoned vehicle crashed into a tree and said one or more people may have fled the scene, raising the possibility of additional suspects. Reports suggest Abdul B previously tried to join Islamic State, travelled to Lebanon in 2025, and was held in pre-trial detention until May 2026 under an order to attend a de-radicalisation programme. He is described as around 6ft 2in, thin, and last seen wearing a black hooded top and white trousers; police warn the public not to approach him.
