A number of people have reportedly been killed and injured in an apparent knife attack at a German festival.<\/p>\n

The attack took place at a festival in the western city of Solingen, German news agencies and the newspaper Bild have reported.<\/p>\n

Passers-by were stabbed at random, according to Bild. The newspaper added the attacker had not yet been caught.<\/p>\n

It’s not clear how many people have died in the attack. It’s reported it took place at around 9.45pm local time.<\/p>\n

The dpa news agency cited police sources, who said the weapon used in the attack was a knife.<\/p>\n

Local police said they were not yet able to comment.<\/p>\n

Emergency workers are at the scene trying to help the injured, Sky News understands.<\/p>\n

According to Sky News’ European correspondent, Siobhan Robbins, a police operation in the area is still ongoing.<\/p>\n

She said people had gathered to celebrate the 650th anniversary of the 160,000-strong city.<\/p>\n

The festival has now been stopped and people have been told to leave the area, Robbins added.<\/p>\n
