A masked man wearing a helmet and bulletproof vest has stabbed at least five people outside a mosque in the city of Eskisehir in northwestern Turkey.

The suspected 18-year-old posted a recording of the attack on the online platform X before being arrested by the police.

"The attacker was dressed like a character in a game, with an axe at his waist, bulletproof vest, and helmet, mask over his face", writes the news site Eskisehir Durum.

According to several Turkish media outlets, the man was also wearing Nazi symbols.
