"He struck out at customers without warning. There are one dead and several injured," Heike Uhde, a police spokeswoman said.

The perpetrator escaped from the scene but was found half an hour later by police and arrested. he was seen covered in blood being driven away in a police car.

Oh it’s working just fine. Searched ‘Hamburg’, which isn’t in the title of the article your posted. Plus it’s a different source.

“We have no clear information as to the motive...” Hamburg police said in a tweet.”

Not to worry, good old Merkle will inform the judge that “ it’s their culture” and give the terrorist a slap on the wrist, if that.

I hope the German police are moving swiftly to met their number one priority, to prevent any backlash.

For German speakers more here:

Witnesses say that man with a large knife was shouting "Allah Akbar", but the police spokesperson does not want to verify that at the moment. (See videos at link - several witnesses talk about what they saw.)

Nope. Not a clue about a possible motive.

"Allahu Akbar" (God is Greatest) in the supermarket

No, they got it wrong. He was shouting "Allahu Marketbar" (This Supermarket is the Greatest). He's a very loyal patron and gets quite upset when other shoppers even hint they may take their business elsewhere.

To quote/paraphrase the mayor of Londonistan, “Terrorism is the new normal; Germans need to get used to it.”

Fortunately the German authorities have made absolutely sure these people were unable to defend themselves.

How so “absolutely”? Carrying a fixed blade up to 4.8” is perfectly legal in Germany (unlike in the UK) and pretty good for self-defense. Unfortunately not enough people choose to do so.
