00:00Police launched a manhunt on Saturday for an unidentified assailant who killed three people and wounded several others in a stabbing attack at a festival in Solingen, Germany.
00:11Eight people were injured, five of them seriously.
00:14Authorities are questioning victims and witnesses while a large team searches for the attacker.
00:20The incident took place around 9.40pm local time on Friday when the suspect targeted multiple people with a knife, aiming specifically at their throats.
00:30We would like to have an exact description of the perpetrator.
00:33It is difficult, witnesses are in shock or cannot speak at the moment.
00:37They are all being cared for.
00:39We have to put everything together like a puzzle game so that we can further expand our investigation and search for the perpetrator.
00:59As a result of the attack, authorities have cancelled the remainder of the weekend's events.
01:03The state's interior minister, Herbert Rüll, who visited the scene, described it as a targeted attack on human life but refrained from speculating on the motive.
