Passers-by were reportedly stabbed at random in a market square where live bands were playing in the western city of Solingen at about 9.45pm local time on Friday.
Police put the number of seriously injured at five, but the region's top security official, Herbert Reul, gave a figure of six as he visited the scene in the early hours of Saturday.
Mr Reul told reporters it was a targeted attack on human life but declined to speculate on the motive.
"None of us knows why" the attack took place, said Mr Reul.
"I can't say anything about the motive now" and it isn't clear who the assailant was, he also said, adding that the attacker had left the scene "relatively quickly".

If only Germany had a second amendment and someone was packing a AR-47, then incident’s like this would never occur.
Just getting the nonsensical responses out of the way, before the thread is flooded with them.

The attacker is believed to have deliberately stabbed his victims in the neck, German media report.
Police spokesman Alexander Kresta was quoted by German media as saying "we are currently assuming that it was one person" after talking to numerous eyewitnesses.
Police also said they "have no indication of his whereabouts", nor details about his appearance.
In a Facebook statement, Solingen Mayor Tim Kurzbach said: "Tonight all of us in Solingen are in shock, horror and great sadness. We all wanted to celebrate our city anniversary together and now we have to mourn the dead and injured.

No description of the ethnicity of the person doing the stabbing was provided and no description of the ethnicity of the victims either. You would think if they wanted to find this individual they would tell the public something so they could get leads. The video did say there have been quite a few Islamic attacks in Europe lately, but did not state if this was done by an Islamic person....which usually means that because they avoided ethnicity, it wasn't a German white person. If it had been a white German they would have stated that just like they do in America now.
You slowly get the feeling that this is all wanted by the agenda pushers. Because how do they react? They tighten the laws immeasurably to the detriment of us native citizens here, so they act against us citizens but do nothing against the knife violence practiced by people who were not born, raised and socialized here. The agenda pushers now only want to allow us to carry knives with a blade length of 6cm where it is still allowed to carry a knife at all. A Swiss army pocket knife has a blade length of 6.5 cm.

Very bad news of course, but seems appropriate it happened at a diversity festival of all places.
Diversity is responsible for a lot of stabbings in Europe over the past decade.

another strange little coincidence is a series of stabbings in the town known for the finest steel swords in Germany...Solingen steel is still very highly regarded.
