Solingen: Man surrenders to German police and confesses to mass knife attack | BBC News

A 26-year-old man has given himself up and confessed to a mass knife attack at a street festival in Germany, police said on Sunday.

"The involvement of this person is currently under intensive investigation," prosecutors and Düsseldorf police said in a joint statement.

Prosecutors have opened an investigation into "participating in a terrorist organisation".

Three people were killed and another eight injured in the city of Solingen during a festival to celebrate its 650-year history, in what Chancellor Olaf Scholz described as a "horrific act".
