Depending on where this stabbing happened, you may be able to check out his story by checking court records from that area. To me, it sounds like there is more to this story but you know the guy so you have to decide how reliable his info could be.
I think I would have arrested him also if I were a cop. The use of lethal force is only acceptable in cases where there is risk of great bodily harm or death, not to protect property. I know it was stated that the thief was driving towards him but I don't find much of a threat in that since it was on a cycle.
