Berlin Tauentzienstraße: Perpetrator initially ran away, passers-by detained him
Car crashes into crowd in Berlin; at least one dead, many injured, emergency forces massively present

A car (apparently a gray Renault Clio) crashes into a crowd of people. Police and rescue forces are present in large numbers.
Much is still unclear - possibly a deliberate action, one eyewitness (John Barrowman, in the video below) says the car came back.
The incident occurred near Breidscheidplatz (intersection of Rankestraße and Tauentzienstraße), the site where Muslim terrorist Anis Amri crashed a truck into a Christmas market in 2016.
