Police and emergency vehicles remain deployed across central Berlin early Sunday, July 26, 2026, after a vehicle drove into a crowd near the closing celebrations of Christopher Street Day late Saturday, killing one person and injuring at least 16 others. Heavily armed German federal police officers carrying rifles are seen standing by at Potsdamer Platz, while an increased police and emergency presence is visible around Brandenburg Gate and near the scene in Tiergarten. The vehicle struck several people before crashing into a tree, and police said the driver fled the area. Authorities have not announced an arrest or confirmed a motive as the investigation and search for the driver continue.
