The 40-year-old German national was detained on Saturday. Police said an argument began inside a residential building before spilling out on to the street, where several eyewitnesses said they saw the man stab his son.
The boy died despite immediate medical intervention. His mother and nine-year-old sister were seriously injured and were taken to hospital in critical condition.
