He was not on the radar of law enforcement. According to Bild, he approached the police covered in blood and said: “I am the one you are looking for”.

The attack in Solingen (North Rhine-Westphalia) took place late on Friday, August 23, at a festival dedicated to the city's 650th anniversary. The criminal managed to escape. On Saturday, a 15-year-old teenager was detained. The investigation suggests that he knew about the crime, but did nothing to prevent it. The Islamic State terrorist organization claimed responsibility for the attack.
