three victims in the city festival –

The investigation is underway for an attack, with the terrorist element still to be determined, after the attack in Germany that left three dead. A man stabbed a crowd at a festival in Solingen and then fled. For a few hours, it was thought that the manhunt would end quickly with the arrest of a young man. But the German newspaper Bild reports that the young man arrested by the Special Task Force (STF) is not the knife attacker responsible for the deadly attack in Solingen. According to information gathered by Build, the person arrested at his parents’ home and questioned for several hours is a younger man and his appearance does not match the description of the perpetrator given by witnesses on the scene.

According to the published identikit, the stabber is a man of about 1.70 meters, with a not too thick beard, dressed in black and wearing a cap. The competent authorities have not yet officially stated their position on the ongoing manhunt. The police and the general prosecutor have announced that they will comment on the attack in the afternoon at the Wuppertal police headquarters. At 3 p.m., the investigators will hold a press conference together with the mayor of Solingen “to provide information on the police operation and the current status,” according to an official statement issued by the authorities.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he was “deeply shocked” by the knife attack in Solingen and called for the attacker to be punished “to the full extent of the law.”
