An attacker with a knife killed three people and seriously wounded at least five late Friday at a festival in the western German city of Solingen, authorities said.
DANIEL NIEMANN and GEIR MOULSONA knife attack Friday at a festival in the city of Solingen in Germany killed three people and wounded five seriously, police said.
Police put the number of seriously injured at five. The region's top security official, Herbert Reul, gave a figure of six as he visited the scene in the early hours of Saturday. "I can't say anything about the motive now" and it isn't clear who the assailant was, he said, but the attacker left the scene "relatively quickly."
The "Festival of Diversity," marking the city's 650th anniversary, began Friday and was supposed to run through Sunday, with several stages in central streets offering attractions such as live music, cabaret and acrobatics.
