Suspect Arrested in Deadly Knife Attack at German Festival

A 26-year-old man was arrested Saturday on charges related to the stabbing deaths of three people at a Solingen, Germany festival the day before.

A German DJ named Tobias Topic was playing music during the incident, and was told by security personnel to continue his set amid the attack in order to prevent mass panic. We all wanted to celebrate our city’s anniversary together and now we have to mourn dead and injured people,” Solingen Mayor Tim Kurzbach wrote on social media after the attack. In recent weeks, a similar stabbing attack occurred at a Taylor Swift-themed children’s dance event in Southport, England, and a thwarted terror plot in Vienna led to the cancelation of Swift’s concerts in that Austrian city.
