Berlin's Pride march was shattered by a fatal vehicle attack on Saturday evening, leaving one woman dead and 16 people injured near the Brandenburg Gate. Authorities are actively searching for a 21-year-old suspect, identified as Abdul B., who is known to police and reportedly has ties to Islamist circles.

The suspect, described as approximately 1.90 meters tall with a beard, was reportedly wearing a black hoodie and white pants at the time of the incident.
