Eight people were seriously wounded, with three in life-threatening condition, emergency services said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"4\"\/>The vehicle, described as a white Citroen Space Tourer delivery vehicle, drove into the Tiergarten park and struck multiple people before coming to a standstill after hitting a tree. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Qkqxz\">\n<h2>CJP Jantar Mantar Protest Updates<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<p>Some of the injured had suffered stab wounds, police added.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"9\"\/><span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>The Christopher Street Day organisers cancelled the remainder of the events, including a clean-up and a breakfast market.
