وَأَدْبَرَ and turned away

The 'wa-' here is the coordinating 'and', adding this action to the run of things the man did. What follows is a past-tense verb with its 'he' subject built in; its derived shape carries the sense of turning one's back and going away, so the form itself conveys deliberate withdrawal.
