“The centre was locked down as the incident took place and remains closed while police investigate,” Victoria Police said.

Footage shows shops with the shutters down as sirens sound.

One woman rang 3AW to report said she had been forced to shelter inside a shop with the lights off, before being told to “evacuate” the building.

“There were people screaming outside, people running,” Lina told 3AW.
