It doesn’t imply ‘start’.
He came towards me. (The action is ‘coming’)
He came running towards me. (The action is ‘coming’, ‘running’ tells you how)
He ran towards me. (The action is ‘running’)
In your example, the main idea is that he ‘came’, not that he ‘ran’. ‘Came running’ sounds a little more natural.
