The DJ who was performing at a ‘Festival of Diversity’ event in Solingen, Germany where three people were stabbed to death says he was told by “security personnel” to keep playing music in order to “avoid causing a mass panic.”
Eight other people received serious injuries during the incident when the killer began knifing random people, aiming directly for their throats, before subsequently escaping.
German authorities are treating the incident as a terror attack.
DJ Topic, who was performing on stage during the festival as the attack unfolded, told the bizarre story of how he was ordered to carry on playing music so as not to cause distress.
“During my set, security personnel from the city came to me and asked me to please continue playing to avoid a mass panic, as there were already people killed by a stabbing attacker,” he posted on Instagram.
“So I kept playing, even though it was incredibly hard. After about 10-15 minutes, the music was finally stopped, and the people were informed about the incident,” he added.
As to the identity of the perpetrator, one would expect the authorities to put out an accurate description of him given that he is now the subject of a manhunt.
However, rather strangely, the BBC reports that police are finding it “difficult” to say what he looks like because “witnesses are in shock or can’t speak at the moment.”
