Is he "radicalized"?
Or just a guy that rented a car, got a knife, ran the rented car into pedestrians , ran from the police with the knife and got himself shot for attacking the police?

The driver was a 35 year old german male student without immigration background. Eyewitnesses reported that he sped up when he saw the group in front of the bakery. That indicates intent. It seems that he was just another mentally unstable individual.
