Police said Jihad al Shamie, 35, called 999 as he carried out Friday's terrorist atrocity.
Two people were killed during the incident, which saw al Shamie attack members of the public with a knife.
Counter-terror police believe al Shamie, a Syrian-born UK citizen, was influenced by extremist Islamist ideology.
