Summary
Berlin police extended a manhunt into Sunday for Abdul B., 21, after a white minivan tore through a street near the Christopher Street Day celebrations, killing one woman.
At least 16 people were injured, some critically, and police said some victims suffered stab wounds before the driver crashed into a tree and fled on foot.
Authorities released the suspect’s photo and partial name in a public appeal, saying he was known to police and linked to the “Islamist spectrum.”
The attack happened near Brandenburg Gate and Tiergarten after a parade that drew hundreds of thousands, and investigators are treating it as terrorism.
