A number of people are reported to have been killed in a knife attack in the western German city of Solingen, local media say. Bild website says a man randomly stabbed passers-by during a festival in the city centre on Friday evening. Several people were also injured.

The attacker is believed to have fled the scene, and police have launched a manhunt. Police helicopters were seen hovering above the city.

The attack happened during the festival marking 650 years of Solingen. The city authorities asked people to leave the area and police are imposing security cordons. Emergency crews at the scene are now treating the injured, media reports say.

If you’re going to have a knife attack, Solingen is the place to have it, I guess.

No description of suspect yet, even though hundreds must have seen him.

A knife in Solingen?

I expect the German police to soon announce these two things:

1. The attack was not terror-related.
2. The suspect was a troubled lone wolf.

Criminal investigations usually take a lot of time. And rightly so. But it’s amazing how fast the police can reach the above two conclusions.

Have several knives made in Solingen. Regret their apparent misuse.

It appears you’ve had a bit too much to think and your comments might cause the public to come to a logical conclusion.

Come with me.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

I bought a knife in Solingen in 1973. Still have it.

Bild has this to say, via Google Translate:

“The perpetrator, according to witnesses an Arab-looking man, is on the run.”

[Jeff Chandler]

There’s probably looking for “a man”.

[DesertRhino]

Solingen? That’s famous for knife factories. The camel jockeys have a sense of humor at least. That’s kinda nice

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Wonder if the stabber used Solingen Steel?

[TigersEye]

It would add insult to injury if he used a Ginsu from Japan.

Now that Germany is ‘multi-ethnic’ perhaps it’s time for their anything-goes lifestyle to pull-back a bit and end the partying, for starters.

...of course there are ‘other options’ for the Germans, and in the past they have proven quite proficient in utilizing them.
