SPECIAL forces have ended a three hour stand off with a blood-soaked man in a German restaurant.
A police official said the man, believed to be the son-in-law of the restaurant's owner, seemed to be in an "exceptional psychological situation".
BILD has reported that negotiators found the man, 43, half-asleep in the basement of the restaurant unarmed, with superficial injuries.
It is understood he has now been taken to hospital.
Initial reports suggested the man was armed with a gun and had run into the restaurant and shouted at everyone to leave.
