German police hunt suspect after deadly car ramming near Berlin Gay Pride

German police searched on Sunday (Jul 26) for a suspect after a car ploughed into a crowd near Berlin's Gay Pride celebrations, killing one person and wounding 16 others.



The incident shattered what had been a day of celebration for hundreds of thousands attending Christopher Street Day, one of Europe's largest Pride events, and left revellers fleeing a central Berlin park as sirens echoed through the night.



Police told AFP the suspected vehicle was later found abandoned a few hundred metres from the heart of the festivities in Tiergarten park.



A manhunt involving helicopters and officers from several German states was under way across the capital on Sunday.
