A VAN ramming and stabbing near Berlin’s Pride festival that left one person dead and many others injured is believed to have been an Islamic extremist terror attack, Germany’s interior minister said today.

The suspect in Saturday night’s attack remains at large. Authorities issued a wanted notice and warned people against approaching Abdul Ballout, a German citizen with Lebanese roots, saying that he may be armed and dangerous.

Authorities said he is believed to have injured several people with a van in a park near the Pride festival’s closing party. Several people were also apparently stabbed.

Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt said the suspect is believed to have injured people with a machete.

Julian Miethig, who had attended the Pride festival nearby, said he wanted to go to an after-party when he heard from a friend that “something bad happened there.”

“It’s a dark day for the community,” he said.

According to police, a white van drove into the Tiergarten park around 10pm and hit several people before colliding with a tree.

Authorities said a woman was killed, three people sustained life-threatening injuries and another eight were seriously injured.

Chancellor Friedrich Merz described the act as “abhorrent” and said it was “an attack on our society.”
