An armed man has barricaded himself in a restaurant in Germany and a SWAT team are preparing to end the siege.
The Mirror reports that a man, who was covered in blood, entered a restaurant in Saarbruecken and demanded everyone leave.
There aren’t believed to be any hostages in the building and the incident is believed to be related to a family dispute, not terrorism, according to local media.
Police have sealed off the area and, according to German newspaper Bild, counter-terrorism units are responding to the situation.
