(CNN) - The suspect in what German authorities described as an  Islamist terror attack  at Berlin's Pride celebrations was shot dead by police following a major manhunt Sunday.

At least one person was killed and 29 others injured in Saturday's vehicle-ramming and stabbing attack at Tiergarten park, near the crowded LGBTQ+ event.

The attack follows several incidents in recent years in which vehicles have been driven into crowds in Germany, fueling renewed debate over immigration amid rising support for the far-right.

Here's what we know about the attack and suspect:

A major manhunt

German authorities launched a major manhunt after an attacker drove a van into a crowd near Saturday's Pride celebrations before stabbing several people with a machete.

Police identified the suspect as Abdul B., a 21-year-old, German citizen of Lebanese background who was born in Germany in 2005, and published his pictures, asking the public for any information on his whereabouts.

Abdul B. was known to police  as a member of Islamic circles  in Berlin and sought to join the Islamic State group, the Associated Press reported, citing German prosecutors.

The AP reported that Abdul B. traveled to Lebanon in 2025 intending to reach Syria and join the Islamic State group. He was arrested there and served three months in prison for offenses including inciting religious and sectarian conflict.

After returning to Germany, a Berlin juvenile court handed him a suspended sentence of one year and 10 months for preparing a serious act of violence and publishing Islamic State propaganda. He was released pending appeal, the AP reported, citing court documents.

The suspect was shot and killed by police during a confrontation at an allotment garden complex in Berlin's Spandau district on Sunday.

Police said officers located the suspect at the complex at around 6 p.m. local time. He allegedly rushed toward them with a stabbing weapon, prompting members of Berlin's SEK tactical police unit to open fire.
