The man held on suspicion of killing three people at a park in Reading was known to MI5, security sources say.
Khairi Saadallah, 25, from the town, was arrested on Saturday and police say they are not looking for anyone else over the terror incident.
Sources told the BBC he is originally from Libya and came to the attention of MI5 in 2019.
One victim has been named as teacher James Furlong - described by his family as "a wonderful man".
Paying tribute to Mr Furlong, 36, head of history, government and politics at The Holt School in Wokingham, his parents Gary and Janet said: "He was beautiful, intelligent, honest and fun."
PM Boris Johnson said he was "appalled and sickened" by the attack in Forbury Gardens on Saturday evening.

“Came to their attention.”
Words fail.

It makes little difference to the victims whether he was known or not by the authorities.
Police are now busy searching for a “motive”. Betting they won’t find one.
Wokingham? What are the odds?
These people need to be put down like the rabid animals they are.
I am sorry if I offended any rabid animals with this comparison.
Three innocent people died because MI5 did not do its job.
Thousands of people were impoverished many died because our Democrat Mayors chose to be leftist traitors and not represent the citizens who elected them.
BLM now states their purpose is to destroy Trump.
Satan’s minions march on, their greatest weapon is betrayed trust.
You just can't make these things up. The irony is so befitting I wager to guess.
Betrayed trust being the foundation of the New World Order, the new Utopia will be an interesting teaching moment.
It will last a little over 7 years if I read my Bible correctly.
"Known to the authorities" is not the same as "taken off the streets by the authorities."
Kind of like when the Supreme Court of Canada said in 2006: "Access to a waiting list is not access to health care."
I’ll bet a LOT of us are ‘known to authorities.’
As Mark Steyn has said - The Jihadi “Lone Wolf” is actually a “Known Wolf.”
A motive would be Islamophobic.
Known wolf.

I thought MI5 was better than the FBI.
“I thought MI5 was better than the FBI.”
Define “better”.

Appalled must be the word du jour for useless politicians when confronted with mayhem and murder against whites.
They always know. They just never do anything about it.
