A knife attack at a local festival in the German city of Solingen late Friday killed three and injured eight with police still searching for the perpetrator.
Police in the nearby city of Düsseldorf told local media that a “large-scale search” is underway but that there are currently “no clues as to the whereabouts” of the attacker.
There is also currently no clear indication as to the assailant’s motive or profile.
“Out of nowhere someone randomly stabs people,” said the Herbert Reul, interior minister of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany’s most populated state. “We can’t say anything about the person or the motive.”
