It looks like three people have been killed, eight people injured.

The attacks happened at around 9.40 PM in a square in the centre of Solingen, where a festival of diversity was being held to mark the city's 650th anniversary. The festival started yesterday (Friday 23rd) and was to last until tomorrow, but the remaining acts and events have been cancelled.

The knife attacker is unknown and has not been apprehended.
