They said that at around 10 p.m. (2000 GMT) a single, unidentified man attacked multiple people and that the perpetrator was still at large.
"It tears my heart apart that there was an attack on our city. I have tears in my eyes when I think of those we have lost," Solingen Mayor Tim-Oliver Kurzbach said in a statement. "I pray for all those who are still fighting for their lives."

Fatal stabbings and shootings in are relatively uncommon.
The police said the attack occurred at a festival to honour the town's 650th anniversary.
Solingen is in North Rhine-Westphalia state, 's most populous and bordering the Netherlands.
The state's interior minister, Herbert Reul, visited the scene, telling reporters it was a targeted attack on human life but declining to speculate on the motive.

The attack occurred at the Fronhof, the mayor's statement said, a market square where live bands were playing.
The German government has been aiming to toughen rules on knives that can be carried in public by reducing the length allowed.
In June, a 29-year-old policeman died after being stabbed in the German city of Mannheim during an attack on a right-wing demonstration.
There was a stabbing attack on a train in 2021, injuring several.

The saner clime is where you can go into a shopping mall and not come out alive, or take a bus or train trip and come out dead without any vehicular accident occuring.

Every breath can be your last in the saner clime.

I wonder what then the outlook is in the insane clime?

What will never happen in sane country!

No African country has ever experienced such in modern times.

Imagine selling your N50m property to relocate to the saner clime, only to find yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time, few days after arriving.

May the demons of the saner clime not find us as victims.

Who are these people up there going on about sane and insane country, as if some of these heinous crimes aren't committed by individuals from third-world countries who enter places like and immediately flout the law, engaging in terrorist acts, and whatnot?

And did someone actually claim that such incidents never occur in Africa? Laughable! Nigeria, for instance, is a prime example of a situation far more dire than merely getting stabbed. I've read cases of people being kidnapped almost daily In some part of Nigeria.

P. S : This is quite unrelated, but I'm directly addressing those guys up there who are trying to throw this conversation off track by putting a spin on the narrative and diverting attention away from the original topic.

All these tantrums is to sell narrative that we should Tinubu's bad government and refuse to Japa from this killing field called Nigeria to if he has the opportunity because one can be killed in a possible stabbing attack at the chance of 4 people in about four years. It really takes having a medically confirmed dead brain cells be an APC apologist.

Maybe Nigeria is not that bad

I still can't understand why someone will choose to be this heartless.

These ones are possessed

Aaa1996:

A country where more than 200 girls are kidnapped?

A country where minimum wage is 70k and politicians earn 29m monthly?

The devil lives in Nigeria, please don't compare

The west won't know what hit them if they keep allowing Islamists into their fold, those idiots with Black foreheads won't stay back in their countries and practice sharia,

Quite unfortunate

RIP to them

This is very interesting. Europe and other western countries are the dumbest people on earth when it comes to immigration. They prefer giving Arabs free access to their countries by giving them asylum and visa in large numbers but will deny poor Africans visa who just want to go there and hustle for a better life.

You don't want blacks in your country but you welcome radical Muslims/Arabs with open arms.

Another Stabbing attack again.
Hope, it wouldn't lead to mass protests.

The world is not safe with these extremists..

Those of you saying shit about the first two comments don't have a good grasp of the English language. They are just using figure of speech to an obvious message across - if this can happen in a sane country like , what is now the fate of those of us in an insane country like Nigeria..?

Some people no dey read. 24/7, body just dey pepper Dem. Don't live all your days being a bitter person.

And abductions and kidnappings don't happen in the South called sane nations ?
You have a high chance of getting abducted in the USA than in Nigeria
The crime rate in USA make Nigerian criminals look like saints

The attacker is probably a Muslim

These are reported and minimal whereas thousands go unreported in third world countries like Nigeria. Make your choice responsibly.

Oga, you dey mind him. Naa the I dey let him come and use rope drag me back home. Anything to justify rubbish.

There time was up!

Death can meet anywhere you are and at any seconds of your age!

One of the consequences of opening up border to non scrutinized refugees from Islamic countries. Europe will pay heavily for that. This is just a baby step of the terror to come unless they embark on massive deportation.

Same type of atrocities happen here! You can’t go to the bank without fear of armed robbers invading the place, you can’t even travel to your own village because of bandits and kidnappers on the roads? What I am trying to say is that crime is not designated to one location alone. Next time use your head before you comment.

The insane clime is the safest place to be in the world. No kidnapping, no terrorism, there are no cases of herdsmen attacking farmers hence farmers are able to farm without disruptions. The populace are able to express their grievances through protest without any lose of life.

Unfortunately, this is a Throwback description of what we now tag the insane clime. Welcome back to reality

The far right party, Alternative for don see opportunity to sell their anti Islam, anti immigration agenda to the voters. But honestly, what will happen to in decades to come will surprise them. Former chancellor, Angela Merkel opened border to more than 3m Syrians and Afghanistan without any verification. It would be a matter of time for some radicals that were offered hope in to turn against the same country that gave them safety and hope in the first place.

The west is not what you think it is....A child goes missing every 40 seconds in the U.S., over 2,100 per day. In excess of 800,000 children are reported missing each year; another 500,000 go missing without ever being reported.

The crime rate in the west are also unreported.

If ignorance was a person.

It is not about ignorance, it is about disappointment.

You leave the insane clime where you can easily identify the madness so as to avoid it, only to meet well dressed mad people in the sane clime in places you wrongly thought you and your children are safe.

Allegedly, eyewitnesses said an Arab man was the attacker.

Angela Merkel says you’re welcome .

The most recent UK attacker was reported as a Black Christian UK born citizen whose parents migrated from Rwanda.

Since this German incident happened at a diversity festival, don't the surprised if the suspect turns out to be a far-right white German citizen.

One of the consequences of causing havoc, crisis in Arab countries to steal their resources. Opening border them for them to look like saint will not prevent you from the effects of your action.
