Berlin. One person was killed and 17 others injured, three of them critically, after a vehicle ploughed into a crowd near Berlin's Pride celebrations on Saturday evening, prompting a major police manhunt.
The incident occurred at around 10pm local time in the city's central Tiergarten park, close to the Brandenburg Gate, where hundreds of thousands of people had gathered for the annual Christopher Street Day (CSD) celebrations, one of Europe's largest LGBTQ events.
Police said the vehicle drove into the crowd before crashing into a tree. When officers arrived, the vehicle was empty, indicating that the driver had fled the scene.
