Police investigator work at the area around a supermarket in Hamburg, where a man killed one person and wounded several others in a knife attack, on July 28. German media reported that the man had Islamist views and was known to authorities. Der Tagesspiegel, a daily based in Berlin, said the suspect was of Palestinian ethnicity and had come to Germany seeking asylum. Authorities said the suspect tried to flee but was overcome by eyewitnesses, who restrained him until police arrived on the scene.
