A stabbing rampage in which a man killed three people and wounded eight others at a festival in the western German city of Solingen was a possible act of terrorism, an official said on Saturday.

Police were searching for the assailant, who was still at large after Friday evening's attack. They said they had detained a 15-year-old individual and were investigating whether this person had a link to the attacker.
