Watch again as German police hold a press conference on Saturday (24 August) after three people were killed and several others injured in a stabbing at the Soligen festival stabbing.
Three people were killed and eight were injured by a knifeman, including five seriously, in a mass stabbing at a diversity festival on Friday.
Police launched a large-scale manhunt overnight for the perpetrator, who started attacking people shortly after 9.30pm on Friday as thousands gathered at the central square in Solingen, west Germany, for a festival to mark the city’s 650th anniversary.
German police have since detained a person in connection to the attack, Reuters have reported.
Police are currently investigating whether there is a connection with this person and the knife attack in the western German city late on Friday, they said today.
