A teenager has been arrested after a masked attacker stabbed five people at an open-air cafe in Turkey and broadcast the rampage on social media.

Wearing a helmet, mask and bulletproof vest adorned with neo-Nazi symbolism, the attacker – who was also armed with an axe – used a knife to stab people at a tea garden and a tram stop in the northwestern city of Eskisehir, reports suggest.

Two people were left in a critical condition, Turkish broadcaster Haberturk reported.

(...)

An online handle linked to the attacker in local media reports appears to have engaged with content relating to racist abuse and mass killings.

A photograph appearing to show the attacker’s weapons and protective gear, published by Istanbul-based outlet Oksijen, showed a mask bearing a neo-Nazi-linked skull, a knife adorned with swastikas and other Nazi symbols and a vest featuring a sun symbol co-opted by the Nazis.
