15-year-old arrested in connection to horror knife attack in Germany that left 3 dead, several injured: authorities

A 15-year-old was arrested Saturday in connection with a knife attack at a festival in Germany that left three people dead and eight hurt, authorities said.

The suspect has been on the run for hours following Friday’s bloodshed in Solingen , a suburb of Dusseldorf.

Police cautioned the young suspect was not the attacker — but instead had been accused of failing to report a crime, according to CNN .

Witnesses claimed the teen had spoken to an unidentified person about “intentions that would match with the crime” shortly before the attack, senior public prosecutor Markus Caspers said in a news conference reported by the Washington Post .

The attacker specifically targeted victims’ necks, police said, as per the Washington Post.

The mayhem unfolded at around 9:30 p.m. in a central square of “Festival of Diversity,” an event marking the 650th anniversary of Solingen.

The attack occurred close to a stage during a musical act, according to police.

Organizers canceled the festival’s remaining lineup in response to the attack.

“This evening, we in Solingen are all in shock. We all wanted to celebrate our city’s anniversary together and now have dead and wounded to lament,” Mayor Tim Kurzbach said on Facebook.

“It breaks my heart that an attack on our city happened,” he added.
