German police on Saturday were searching for an Arab assailant who killed three people and wounded seven in a stabbing attack late Friday on the first day of a three-day "Festival of Diversity" in the western German city of Solingen. The public prosecutor told a news conference that a terrorist motive has not been ruled out.
A 15-year-old boy was arrested early Saturday. Police said he was suspected of knowing about the planned attack and not informing authorities, but he was not the attacker.
“The police are currently conducting a large-scale search for the perpetrator,” police said in a statement. “Both victims and witnesses are currently being questioned,” they said.
