Berlin: One dead and others hurt as car drives into pedestrians



One person has been killed and at least a dozen more injured after a car drove into a crowd on a busy Berlin street.


Emergency officials say it is unclear whether the incident, which happened at around 10:30 local time (08:30 GMT), was intentional or an accident.
A police spokesperson told reporters that the driver, a 29-year-old man, was arrested at the scene.
The incident took place in the heart of western Berlin, on one of its busiest shopping streets.
"There are seriously injured people among the more than a dozen injured," police spokesperson Thilo Cablitz said.
Police added that the driver, who has dual German and Armenian citizenship and lives in Berlin, had initially been apprehended by passers-by.
Reports say the vehicle veered off the street and mounted the pavement before crashing into a shop front.

Images from the scene show a silver Renault Clio crashed through a display window in a cosmetics shop. There are also pictures of what appears to be a body, covered in blankets, in the middle of the road.
Around 130 emergency workers are at the scene according to the Berlin police service.
Berlin's Mayor Franziska Giffey wrote on Twitter that she has been "deeply affected by this incident" and told residents that "police are working flat out to clarify the matter".
"I will get an idea of the situation on site during the course of the day. I would like to thank the more than 130 emergency services for their quick response and care for those affected," she added.
The actor John Barrowman tweeted that he was nearby when the incident took place and in a video posted from the scene said the car had repeatedly mounted the footpath before crashing into the storefront.

"The police presence is unbelievable. They are clearing out the area," the actor said. "There's helicopters coming in now to airlift people."

Mr Barrowman later told the BBC the car careened through tables of people sitting outside having breakfast, before smashing into the storefront.

"It was just horrific", he said. "I saw somebody being resuscitated, I saw somebody being literally thrown onto a stretcher and put into an ambulance." he added.
The incident happened on the corner of the busy Rankestrasse and Tauentzienstrasse in western Berlin.
The area is opposite Breitscheidplatz, where 12 people were killed in a terrorist attack in 2016, when a truck was deliberately driven into a crowd of people at a Christmas market.
IS later claimed responsibility for the attack, which was carried out by an unsuccessful asylum seeker. The attacker was later shot dead by Italian police.

Paris woman condemns police for friend's fatal shooting


The 21-year-old woman who died was hit several times by police bullets


A young woman who saw her friend fatally shot by police in Paris at the weekend has said there was no need for them to open fire.
Inès, 21, and her friend Rayana were passengers in a car when the driver ignored a police order to stop.
Rayana's death has prompted a political row over violence by security forces.
The friends had accepted a ride home after meeting the driver in a nightclub. She said: "I'm angry because police could have acted differently."
And with days to go before French voters go to the polls in parliamentary elections, left-wing alliance leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon promised to change the doctrine on how French police use force.
"It's not normal that we kill someone for failing to stop," he told French radio earlier, saying it was the fourth such death in four months. In an initial tweet he wrote: "The police kill."

Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said his remarks were outrageous and it was "irresponsible and unworthy" to insult police for electoral reasons.
On Saturday, the driver of the car was eventually arrested with gunshot wounds after fleeing the car in the 18th district of northern Paris, and Rayana's family are taking legal action against him for alleged manslaughter.
Their lawyer Sylvie Noachovitch said the driver was primarily responsible for her death.
He had offered to give Rayana and two other passengers a lift, she explained, then twice refused to comply with police. "[Rayana] never approved of all his escape attempts - every time she screamed inside the car just like the other passengers to let them get out, and he didn't reply."
However, the lawyer said the family were also taking legal action against police for violence resulting in death as well as manslaughter in a situation when their lives were not at risk.
The police involved argue they opened fire on the car in self-defence. They are facing a separate judicial investigation and have been released from custody.

In an interview with France Info, Rayana's friend Inès said the three officers on a mobile bike patrol had knocked on the driver's window because he was not wearing a seatbelt. He drove on until he was blocked by traffic because he had no licence, she said.
She said the officers then broke the car windows with their weapons and fired shots. After the driver rammed forward into a van, he then ran off.
"I thought my friend Rayana, in the seat in front of me, had passed out. I tried to shout out her name several times at the top of my voice. Her body was limp and then I realised she had blood all over her neck."
Political figures have largely rallied around the police. Far-right leader Marine Le Pen said Mr Mélenchon was never on the side of the security forces and Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin said the police deserved respect.


Two brothers were killed when they fled a police check in central Paris at the end of April


However, it is the fourth death involving police checks in the French capital since late April:

• In early May, a passenger was fatally wounded when police opened fire during a check, again in the 18th district
  
• Two brothers died on the Pont Neuf when they tried to escape a checkpoint in central Paris in late April.
  

Mr Darmanin has himself come under scrutiny after he backed police handling of the Champions League final at the Stade de France, where police aimed tear gas and pepper spray at Liverpool fans queuing outside the stadium and failed to respond when local thugs attacked the supporters after the game.

Europe's governing body, Uefa, has apologised to fans of both Liverpool and Real Madrid over the "frightening experience".
