The gesture of the man who hit the crowd in Berlin yesterday was " voluntary ", but the local prosecutor excludes a terrorist trail . The 29 -year-old who hit the crowd suffers from paranoid schizophrenia , a condition that prompted his action. Stopped yesterday, he will be hospitalized in a psychiatry ward.

According to what was reconstructed by the police, the 29-year-old allegedly "knowingly impacted two targets with a vehicle": a group of people on the corner of Ku'damm and Rankstresse, and a group of schoolchildren in Tauenzienstrasse.

He is currently accused of the attempted murder of 31 people, and a dangerous attack on road traffic. The spokesman for the Berlin prosecutor's office Sebastian Buechner said today in Berlin .

"Seven schoolchildren are still hospitalized in Berlin", announced the president of the Land of Hesse, Boris Rhein, at a press conference in the municipality from which the schoolchildren affected by the 29-year-old German-Armenian come from.
