Police have identified a suspect in the attack on the fringes of Berlin's Christopher Street Day Pride march that killed at least one person and injured 29 others, several of them critically, authorities said.

Berlin police have launched a manhunt after a deadly van-ramming attack at the closing event of Christopher Street Day Pride  celebrations near the Brandenburg Gate. Investigators identified suspect Abdul B., a German citizen, whom police say is known for links to Islamic circles and may be armed. The van drove into a crowd in Tiergarten Park shortly after 10 p.m., prompting an evacuation and a major emergency response. Mourners later gathered near the scene despite security concerns.
