As reported by the Berlin police on their Twitter account, the alleged driver of the vehicle has been arrested. ” It is not yet known whether it was an accident or an intentional hit-and-run. The emergency services have arrested the man who was allegedly driving in the vehicle”.

A spokesman for the German capital has said that up to 30 people could have been injured.

It also investigates whether, in case of an accident, its trigger was a medical problem in the driver of the vehicle, added Cablitz.

The vehicle, a “Renault Clio”, according to the popular newspaper “Bild”, headed first against the group of people, after which it returned to the road, from which it exited again to end up against the shop window.
