The 24-year-old suspect, a Somali immigrant, grabbed a knife from the kitchen section of a department store, attacking several inside. He then lashed out at people outside.
Five women and a child were also injured in the attack.
Police say the suspect was possibly psychologically unstable and may have held extremist Islamist beliefs...
A witness reported that the suspect shouted "Allah Akbar" during the attack, said Mr Herrmann.
But a police spokesman said that, while the attacker had a criminal record, none of his previous offences were related to terrorism.
