Overview
- A white van drove into a crowd at the Christopher Street Day Pride event in central Berlin on July 25, injuring dozens and killing at least one person.
- Witnesses said the van hit people at high speed near the parade endpoint and the driver fled, leaving police to recover the vehicle at the scene.
- German interior officials on July 26 described the incident as possibly terror-related and reported about 29 people injured while investigations continue.
- Police have publicly wanted a 21-year-old man described as an IS supporter, searched a Berlin residence, and are probing whether the van was rented and who actually drove it.
- The attack has revived fears about vehicle attacks in Germany given past incidents such as the 2016 Berlin Christmas market strike and could prompt stepped-up security at large public events.
