Bit of both, probably, but the article quoted above does put it in the
context of "authorities have been trying to work out why Jean Charles
de Menezes ran away from police when he was challenged at Stockwell
Tube station".

I notice that they still haven't confirmed that the challenge
specifically *included* identifiying themselves as police. That would
be implicit in explaining away his fleeing from people he though might
arrest him because he was an illegal immigrant, but less of a credible
explanation if they did not, in fact, identify themselves as police
officers
