Hundreds of thousands of people had come to Berlin on Saturday to celebrate at Berlin\u2019s pride parade, known in Germany as Christopher Street Day. It\u2019s one of Europe\u2019s largest\u00a0LGBTQ+<\/a>\u00a0celebrations.<\/p>\n

The pride event in front of the city\u2019s iconic Brandenburg Gate in downtown was called off around 10:15 p.m. and a band\u2019s performance on stage was interrupted. People were urged to go home and to avoid taking the route through the Tiergarten park.<\/p>\n

Before the incident, people had celebrated peacefully,\u00a0marching through the city<\/a>\u00a0for hours, dancing to loud music, and cheering the around 80 floats that participated in the parade.<\/p>\n
