The suspected Islamist behind Saturday night's deadly attack near Berlin's Pride celebration was shot and killed by police Sunday evening, ending a nearly 24-hour manhunt across the German capital. 21-year-old Abdul Balut, a German-born citizen of Lebanese descent, accused of using a rental van and machete to kill one person and injure 29 others in Berlin's Tiergarten Park. The attack unfolding shortly before 10 p.m. Saturday as the city's Pride parade and festival, known as Christopher Street Day, was wrapping up near the historic Brandenburg Gate.
Authorities emphasizing the attack did not occur inside the festival, along the parade route or at its closing party, instead taking place several hundred yards away on a path through the sprawling park. Police say the white van plowed through a group believed to include both Pride parade attendees and other people visiting the park before smashing into a tree.
Some of the victims also suffering wounds from what investigators describe as a, quote, bladed weapon, raising questions about whether Balut carried out the attack alone or had help from others who fled after the van crashed. Witness Erik Muller describing to Sky News the fear and confusion spreading through the nearby crowds as conflicting accounts raced across the festival grounds.

We go to the main station, directly to the main station, and then we saw a big crowd of people come towards us. And at first, we didn't know what happened.
We thought maybe the main stage is closed. We saw many faces, sad faces, crying faces. Saw those people crying, running away.
I was shocked, so we hear everything. We hear, yeah, there are two cars, there are three persons, there are a knife with a man. And we hear so many information, and we don't know what is right or what is wrong. So it was a really, really crazy time.
