A motorist drove their car into a crowd during Berlin’s famed LGBTQ+ parade on Saturday, killing one person and injuring at least 15, prompting police to call off the event in the German capital hours after it had begun.
Police said some of the victims had life-threatening injuries. Firefighters and ambulances were out with many emergency staffers at the scene to attend to the victims.
In a post on X, police called on everyone to leave the premises of the event immediately. According to police, a car had driven into the Tiergarten park, near the route of the pride march, hitting several people. Police did not know how many officers had been deployed to the scene but that it was “definitely a lot of police.” They said they were searching for suspects.

“We are conducting an intensive search for possible suspects,” a police officer said on a short video released on the Berlin police account on X.
Hundreds of thousands of people had come to Berlin on Saturday to celebrate at Berlin’s pride parade, known in Germany as Christopher Street Day. It’s one of Europe’s largest LGBTQ+ celebrations.
The pride event in front of the city’s iconic Brandenburg Gate in downtown was called off around 10:15 p.m. and a band’s performance on stage was interrupted. People were urged to go home and to avoid taking the route through the Tiergarten park.
Before the incident, people had celebrated peacefully, marching through the city for hours, dancing to loud music, and cheering the around 80 floats that participated in the parade.
Most of those that attend pride events have deep mental issues.
PEOPLE ARE SI CK and TIRED OF THESE “T WI ST ED PRIDE PEOPLE “

It’s sad that instead of expressing empathy, some commenters just wish to spread their misguided hate.
To Marc. We think you have it wrong, it is not the straights that is wrong with this country it is misjointed ones who think they have to parade to sell their ideas.
I feel bad for the lefties. One of their sacred groups hurts their other sacred group. Importing people to the West that don’t share your beliefs was never wise. Now its too late, enjoy what you’ve done.
Was Justin Trudeau there.
Most people that participate in these events have a mental illness
The women was late for the march?
Typical straight comments advocating and applauding senseless acts of violence against the LGBTQ community. People like you are what is wrong with this country! Appalling. Since when is this ok. NEVER.
The car didn’t drive into the crowd… it was the muslim who was driving that drove into the crowd.
A lot of sucking going on
I would never attend a “pride parade. Don’t believe in the ideology.
Better install more portable diversity barriers like the rest of UK are doing at any large events. Diversity is our strength…lol
They wanted attention
They got it
Something is missing from this story. Not surprisingly.
When will the West learn that Islam is evil and has no place in freedom loving nations. Islam is no friend of the LGBQT community.
I do this in the name of Allah.
Where is the LGBTQ for palestine now??

Terrible! is it safe to any of these so public festivals/events anymore. I guess it just never stops from any accident, incidents from happening when it suppose to be fun,safe, and happy events. Sad these problems happens ( world wide ). There has to be better protections/barriers etc. from preventing any of these incidents happens ( full barricades or maybe indoor facility.
Good
And true to Alberta fashion, a story about people dying at a pride event brings out the homophobic and hateful people. How about at your next red neck bbq someone drive a car through you….
I heard the driver had mud in his eye.
While I do not condone violence. I do not condone the Alphabet soup gang either. They brought this on themselves. Many religious books demand that we do not tolerate this activity.
