People seen running out of Lindt cafe

It appears three people have fled from the Lindt cafe. One staff member and what appears to be two customers were seen running from the cafe while police stood out the front with weapons drawn.

It is not clear if the three people - who we believe to be hostages - were freed or escaped from the Lindt cafe. They ran out of a side door where heavily armed police were and hid behind the police.
