Cops shot the woman – who is said to be Bulgarian – with a service weapon on the corner of St Pauls Square and Bavariang.

She died in the hospital after undergoing emergency surgery, Bild reports.

The area currently remains cordoned off to the public with armed cops alongside Munich’s Criminal Investigation Department at the scene.

Sniffer dogs are also on the hunt for any clues while bandages were harrowingly seen on the ground at the Oktoberfest site.

The motive behind the attack remains unknown.

Bavaria’s Interior Minister, Joachim Herrman, expressed his gratitude towards the Munich police by telling Bild: “I am very thankful to the Munich police for their prompt action in detaining the knife attacker.”

“Her death is regrettable, but unfortunately, it was probably unavoidable.”

According to cops, the victims suffered “minor injuries”.

Just a few hours prior, at least five people were injured after a car ploughed into a crowd in Germany.

A five-year-old girl is understood to be among the wounded after the horror crash in Passau.

The driver’s wife, 38, was also hurt, according to Bild.

It is unclear if the driver intentionally drove into the crowd, according to reports.

Three people were seriously injured, according to a police spokesperson.

The incident occurred around 3.30pm near the main train station in the Bavarian city.

“At this time, it cannot be ruled out that the man deliberately drove the vehicle into the group of people,” police told local media.

The driver was reported to be a 48-year-old man.

He has been detained, according to local media reports.

Cops are urging anyone with relevant information to contact the authorities.
