Interior Minister Dobrindt said that the suspect had used a cutting weapon — presumably a machete — to attack more passersby after the car ramming, causing additional severe injuries.
He said the attacker had been known to authorities, adding he had committed several criminal acts. The suspect had gone through "radicalization" and belonged to the "Islamist scene," Dobrindt said.
The suspect was born in Germany in 2005, had German citizenship at birth and a Lebanese family background, Dobrindt said. His mother acquired German citizenship
just years before his birth, in 2002.
