German authorities on Sunday issued a wanted notice for a fugitive suspect in the van ramming near a Berlin festival that left one person dead and injured at least 16 others.
Police and prosecutors asked for help in finding the 21-year-old suspect, whom they identified as Abdul B.
They said he is believed to have injured several people with a moving vehicle, and that one or more people apparently then left that vehicle. Several people were also apparently stabbed, they added.
Sunday’s notice warned the public to avoid “direct contact” with the suspect, saying that he may be armed and dangerous.
According to police, a white van drove into the Tiergarten park around 10 p.m. and hit several people before colliding with a tree.
Berlin’s fire service said that three people sustained life-threatening injuries, another eight were seriously injured and five had slight injuries.
