As reported, a car drove into a crowd in central Berlin on Wednesday. According to the “Bild” it shouldn’t have been an accident. A confession letter was found in the car. The paper quoted one researcher as saying, “Absolutely no accident – a gunman, a cold-blooded killer.”
A police spokeswoman was initially unable to confirm this. According to “Bild”, the driver of the vehicle is a 29-year-old German-Armenian living in Berlin. The man would already be known to the authorities for property crimes.
The incident happened around 10:30 a.m. in the Charlottenburg district, on Tauentzienstrasse, near the Gedächtniskirche and the Ku’damm. This is a very popular area for tourists and shoppers.
The “image” referred to eyewitness accounts, according to which the man initially ran away. Passers-by would have detained him and handed him over to the police, police spokesman Thilo Cablitz reported.
According to eyewitnesses, the driver initially fled. Passers-by arrested him and handed him over to the police, police spokesman Thilo Cablitz reported. It is examined whether there is intent or a traffic accident, or whether a medical emergency is also possible.
Location of the accident near the site of the attack on the Christmas market
The scene was near the site of a deadly attack on December 19, 2016, when Anis Amri, a failed Tunisian asylum seeker with Muslim connections, hijacked a truck, killed the driver and then plowed it into a bustling Christmas market in West Berlin.
Eleven people died under the rubble and a few years later, a 49-year-old succumbed to an injury suffered while rushing to help the victims. He is classified as the 13th victim of the attack.
