After mowing people down with the vehicle, the attacker injured some with a bladed weapon, thought to have been a machete, according to German Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt

Berlin police said they have identified a suspect who "is known to police" and has links to "Islamist circles."

German police are hunting a member of the 'Islamist scene' after a van was driven into a crowd of people at a Pride parade in Berlin, killing at least one person.

Awareness of such attacks has been heightened since a 2016 ramming at a Christmas market
