At least four people were severely injured in a stabbing attack at a gym in the western German city of Duisburg, police said Tuesday evening.
No arrests were announced, and German dpa news agency said police were seeking one suspect. The motive of the attack was not immediately clear.
The incident occurred in the old city of Duisburg and police asked residents to stay at home and avoid the area. They said a large number of officers were at the scene of the attack, right across from the city hall.
"According to current information, one person has injured other people with an object" at a gym, they tweeted earlier.
Police said that a "stabbing or cutting weapon" was used in the attack, but did not give any further details.
The attacker appeared to still be on the loose, dpa reported.
"There has been no arrest," police told dpa, adding that a hunt was under way for the attacker. Investigators also said it was too early to talk about a possible motive behind the attack.
Several victims were taken to a hospital, while investigators searched the gym, dpa reported. Several witnesses to the attack, some still with their sports bags, were taken to a nearby restaurant so police could question them.
Helicopters were hovering above the gym and psychologists were brought in to help shocked witnesses.
Police said they received the first emergency calls at about 5:40 p.m. local time.
