Scottish-American actor John Barrowman, who was at the scene, said that the car careened onto the pavement and hit people before crashing into a storefront window. Police are trying to determine whether the man deliberately rammed into the crowd or whether it was an accident, possibly due to a medical emergency, he added. The car then crashed into a shop window on an adjoining street, according to the city's police and fire department.

Police detained the male driver and said they did not yet know whether the crash was deliberate.

“Our thoughts, our sympathy are with the injured and their relatives.” The small silver Renault car was lodged inside a shop after smashing through a plate glass display, Reuters images showed. Bystanders looked up at a helicopter circling above. Rescue workers moved apparently conscious people on stretchers towards an ambulance, including one woman sitting up and another who covered her face with her hand. He was detained by bystanders and handed over to the authorities. Police later said 14 students were among the injured.

Giffey said the crash brought “terrible memories” of a truck attack more than five years at the nearby Breitscheidplatz square. “Before speculating, I think it's important at this stage to really let the police and fire service conduct their investigation,” the mayor said. He said police are trying to determine whether the man deliberately drove into pedestrians or whether it was an accident, possibly caused by a medical emergency.

Mayor says incident where teacher died and 14 children were injured was probably deliberate.

While police found a poster in the car that criticised Turkey for its role in the Armenian genocide during the first world war, it was unclear whether it belonged to the driver or his sister, the registered owner of the vehicle. Giffey said yesterday’s incident had “ripped open deep injuries and trauma”. A teacher died and 14 children on a school trip were injured when the German-Armenian driver steered his silver Renault Clio on to the pavement of a busy shopping mile at about 10.30am local time (0930 BST) on Wednesday. After driving back to the main road he crashed into the shopfront window of a cosmetics store.

L’affluence était grande à ce moment de la journée dans ce quartier commercial et touristique situé près du jardin zoologique, à l’ouest de la capitale.
