Officers still unsure about identity and motive of assailant who killed three and wounded eight in attack at festival in city in west Germany
Police in Germany are urgently seeking tips from the public to find the perpetrator of a mass stabbing at a festival that killed three and injured eight people – admitting they were still in the dark as to his identity and motive.
The assailant, who is still at large, used a knife to attack people apparently at random in a crowd of thousands gathered at the central square in Solingen, west Germany. The frenzied assault, which happened at a festival of diversity during celebrations to mark the city’s 650th anniversary, lasted only minutes, witnesses said.
