2022 Berlin car attack

[2][3] At around 10:30 local time, a person in a Renault Clio drove onto the sidewalk at the end of the Kurfürstendamm on the corner of Rankestraße in Berlin running into a group of pedestrians.

The driver then continued across the intersection onto Tauentzienstraße and finally crashed into the window of a Douglas cosmetics store one block further on the corner of Marburger Straße.

[7] According to Berlin's Interior Senator Iris Spranger (SPD), the man gained German citizenship in 2015.

Spranger said on 9 June that, based on the current status, she would rate the event as a rampage by a mentally ill person.

[9] The incident happened just across from the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, which had been the site of a terrorist attack in December 2016.
