Flusche’s knife fell out of his hand as he hit the ground and landed on a mat next to the officer. He died at the scene.

Surveillance footage captured the moments before police arrived.

Flusche stood hunched over the side of the counter as the victim worked. He suddenly let himself in through a side door, launching at the worker with the knife in one hand.

He was filmed repeatedly slashing him as the pair fell to the floor. Some frightened customers fled the scene.

One woman, who was on the other side of the counter when Flusche stormed behind it, ran in after him and tried to pull him off the victim.
