An armed man has taken several people hostage in the historic city hall of the Bavarian city of Ingolstadt and is making demands to police over the telephone.

Police spokesman Guenther Beck said that the man had taken the hostages shortly before 9am (7am GMT) on Monday but that it was not clear what weapons he had.

He said there were "several" hostages but that he couldn't be specific about the number. He did not disclose what demands the hostage-taker had made.
