SOLINGEN, Germany, Aug 23 (Reuters) - Three people were killed and four others seriously wounded in a stabbing attack at a festival on Friday night in the western German city of Solingen, police said.
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 Germany 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, Germany'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.

What will never happen in sane country!

No African country has ever experienced such in modern times.

Throwback:
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.

Maybe Nigeria is not that bad

Botragelad:
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.

Throwback:
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?

Amumaigwe:
All these tantrums is to sell narrative that we should support Tinubu's bad government and refuse to Japa from this killing field called Nigeria to Germany 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.

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

victorVIC1:
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.

If ignorance was a person.

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.

Nonexisting1:
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.
