The man is believed to have fled the shopping centre and headed for a nearby underground station. There was no indication as to the motivation of the attack. But Germany is on high alert after a man wielding an axe and knife attacked train passengers near the southern city of Würzburg earlier this week.

The Olympia shopping centre is a two-tiered glass covered mall. It was built on the site of the 1972 Olympic Games. The Munich Olympics were overshadowed by a terrorist attack in which 11 Israeli sportsmen and a German policeman were killed after being taken hostage by Palestinian terrorists.

5. I'm unsurprised this is happening in Munich

It seems there's a man or gang of men there that have been importing small arms and explosives in Munich for some time. It looks like the police failed to arrest them all, or find all their customers.
