The man who killed one person and injured six in a supermarket knife attack in Hamburg was a “known Islamist”, officials say.
“He was known as an Islamist but not a jihadist,” Hamburg’s Interior Minister Andy Grote said, noting the suspect also had “psychological” issues.
The man, a failed asylum seeker born in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), attacked customers at random on Friday.
Police said he acted alone and he was overpowered by passers-by.
