The man suspected of stabbing three people to death at a German festival has yet to be identified and remains at large, authorities said Saturday after an arrest was made as part of their investigation.

“The perpetrator (of the attack) has not yet been identified,” Düsseldorf prosecutor Markus Caspers told a news conference, adding that the person arrested by police earlier in the day was a 15-year-old boy suspected of being in contact with the attacker.
