Sydney: Five people ran out a fire exit of a Sydney cafe where a gunman took an unknown number of people hostage at the height of Monday morning rush hour. Two people inside the cafe were seen holding up a flag containing an Islamic declaration of faith.
New South Wales Police Deputy Commissioner Catherine Burn confirmed that the three people “have now emerged from the location” where the hostage crisis had been unfolding for more than six hours.
“The first thing that we are doing is making sure that they are OK.
We will then establish who they are and then we will continue to work with them,” Burn said.“We do not have any information that suggests that anybody is harmed at this stage,” she added.
