		</div><p>A man armed with a large knife has killed three people and injured several others in the city of Wurzburg before being shot by police and arrested, German authorities said.</p>
<p>Police identified the suspect as a 24-year-old Somali man living in Wurzburg. His life was not in danger from his gunshot wound, a spokeswoman said.</p>
<p>Bavaria’s top security official Joachim Herrmann said the injured include a young boy, whose father was probably among the dead.</p>
<p>The suspect was in psychiatric treatment before the attack and had been known to police, Mr Herrmann said.</p>
<p>Videos posted on social media showed pedestrians surrounding the attacker and holding him at bay with chairs and sticks in the centre of the Bavarian city.</p>
<p>A woman who said she had witnessed the incident told German RTL television that the police then stepped in.</p>
<p>“He had a really big knife with him and was attacking people,” Julia Runze said. “And then many people tried to throw chairs or umbrellas or cellphones at him and stop him.”</p>
<p>“The police then approached him and I think a shot was fired, you could hear that clearly.”</p>
<p>Police spokeswoman Kerstin Kunick said officers were alerted at around 5pm to a knife attack in Barbarossa Square in the centre of the city.</p>
<p>Bavaria’s governor Markus Soeder expressed shock at the news of the attack. “We grieve with the victims and their families,” he wrote on Twitter.</p>
<p>Police said on Twitter that there was no danger to the population.</p>
<p>Wurzburg is a city of about 130,000 people located between Munich and Frankfurt.</p>
