A van-ramming and stabbing attack struck the Berlin Pride celebration on Saturday evening, leaving one person dead and resulting in multiple injuries. The suspect, Abdul Ballout, a 21-year-old German citizen of Lebanese descent, drove a white van into crowds near Tiergarten Park around 10 p.m. local time before attacking people with a knife [1][2][3]. German authorities reported differing casualty figures, with police stating 29 people were wounded [3], while other accounts cited at least 16 injured [2].
Ballout was known to law enforcement prior to the attack [1]. According to officials, he had previously attempted to travel to the Middle East to join the Islamic State and had been convicted last year of preparing serious acts of violent extremism [2][3]. Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt declared that "all evidence points to Islamic terrorism" in connection with the assault [2][3]. Police warned the public that the suspect remained armed with what was believed to be a knife and urged people to avoid direct contact [1].
German police located and fatally shot the suspect on Sunday evening in an allotment garden area in the Spandau district [3]. Chancellor Friedrich Merz pledged to hold those responsible accountable, characterizing the incident as an attack on society [1][3].
