According to Deutsche Welle, Hamburg Mayor Olaf Scholz said it appeared that the suspect was facing deportation but this had not proceeded because necessary papers were lacking.
"I am furious that the offender is apparently someone who has claimed protection with us in Germany and then directed his hate against us," the mayor said.
Since 2017, over 1.2 million refugees poured into Germany, leading to the deterioration of public security situation, especially the potential terrorist attacks.
Germany has suffered several terrorist attacks in less than a year. One of the deadly cases took place in December last year, when a truck was deliberately driven into the Christmas market next to the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church in Berlin, leaving 12 people dead and 56 others injured.
The suspect of the Berlin attacker is a Tunisian national named Anis Amri, who is also a rejected asylum seeker.
