On Saturday 25 July 2026, shortly before 10 p.m., a utility vehicle plowed into the crowd gathered at Berlin's Tiergarten on the sidelines of Christopher Street Day (the Pride march) before hitting a tree. One woman was killed and sixteen people were injured, several of them seriously, according to Berlin firefighters. Police are searching for a 21-year-old suspect, identified as Abdul B. and described as known to the authorities and linked to Berlin's Islamist scene, who is reported to have been released from a juvenile detention center in May 2026. More than 2,200 police officers, backed by helicopters, had been deployed to secure the event, which drew several hundred thousand participants near the Brandenburg Gate.
