He sure did. The first video shows him being held at bay, the second being chased by angry locals. He is very lucky the police stopped him before the crowd did. Deutsche Welle has more: WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE SUSPECTED ATTACKER
A MOTIVE FOR THE ATTACK Investigators are looking into the motivation for the attack. According to a police spokesperson, the suspect is not known to the police for crimes that "lean in the direction of Islamic extremism." Herrmann said that he is not excluding any possibility: "In any case, there is circumstantial evidence that this could have been an Islamist attack." Herrmann cited a witness who alleged that the attacker had shouted the common Islamic phrase "Allahu Akbar," which means "God is great."
But numbers have declined since then, with just 615 considered dangerous by the latest count — compared with 730 in January 2018. On top of that, there are also 521 people “who have attracted the attention of the security services but have not yet reached the stage of being considered dangerous”.
Bavaria's top security official, Joachim Herrmann, said the suspect had been known to police and had been admitted to a psychiatric unit just a few days earlier. 'His condition had been noticed in recent months, including | ||||

#13 At least Bavaria's top security official, Herr Joachim Herrmann, openly admits and is willing to consider, which makes him a paragon among German officialdom. You are truly to be congratulated, European Conservative. Would that we had Democrats of his kidney. |

#12 ISIS propaganda btw, which makes it even more mysterious, and of course we don't want to rush to judgment. |

#5 Investigators are looking into the motivation for the attack Take a guess. The man went into the kitchen department of a store and asked an assistant where the knives were, regional police president Gerhard Kallert said. He seized a knife and stabbed and killed the saleswoman and two more women in the shop. He then injured five other women seriously, as well as wounding a child, in a bank and on the street. He was cornered by passers-by before the police shot him in the thigh, Kallert said. |

#2 “Asylum seeker” who arrived in the city in 2015, known wolf, nuts... and this morning’s update informs us he only just started psychiatric treatment. How many Muslim refugee nutters does Germany have, in addition to the 1136 connected jihadis the authorities are keeping an eye on? |

#1 Ein Würzburger, kaum ein one of Angela's strays... proper vermin. A black life! Black look, black everything, with a no hope of ever his life turnin'. He yelled 'Allah Ul Al!', and killed for Ba'al, but 'Motives are unknowable' says Herr Hermann. |
