BERLIN, July 25 (Reuters) – A car drove into a crowd near Berlin’s Pride celebrations on Saturday evening, injuring several people, Berlin police said.
Police said on the social media platform X they were responding with emergency services to an incident in the city’s central Tiergarten park close to the Brandenburg Gate, where a vehicle had struck multiple people.
“We are searching intensively for suspects,” police said.
Hundreds of thousands of people had gathered peacefully in the German capital for the annual Christopher Street Day celebrations, one of Europe’s largest Pride events, before the incident ended the festivities.
