The investigation reveals that the winding was the work of a criminal act and not an accident, according to the newspaper ‘Bild’
The multiple outrage in the center of Berlin that this Wednesday left one dead and many injured, at least six in critical condition, was an intentional act carried out by Gor H., a 29-year-old German of Armenian origin. Sources of the investigation cited by the tabloid ‘Bild’ pointed out that “in no case was it an accident, he was a suicidal murderer, a cold-blooded murderer.” The man invaded the sidewalk, ran over numerous passers-by and ended up crashing into a shop window. “It was running at full speed. At no time did he slow down,” said an eyewitness.
The driver of the vehicle, who was slightly injured, was immediately arrested by the Police, who have not yet officially confirmed whether it was an accident or if the man acted intentionally. The incident took place on the Tauenzienstrasse, a shopping street in the heart of West Berlin, next to the Breitcheidplatz and the Memorial Church, just a hundred meters from the place where a radical Islamist ran over dozens of people with a heavy truck who in December 2016 visited a Christmas market, causing the death of thirteen, including the driver of the truck he murdered to steal the vehicle.
A spokesman for the fire department stressed that several were hit squarely by the car, a Renault Clio. “We still do not know if it was an intentional act or a traffic accident,” said a police spokesman, who stressed that “we have arrested the driver and we are clarifying the circumstances of the event.” Eyewitnesses indicated that the driver intentionally ran over his victims. After invading the sidewalk and running over passers-by who happened to be passing by, the vehicle crashed into the window of a large drugstore.
