Police in the German city of Munich have warned of a planned terror attack and asked people to avoid crowds
Officials said they had been told by a "friendly intelligence agency" that suicide bombers from so-called Islamic State could target two of the city's main railway stations. The main station and Pasing station have been evacuated and trains are no longer stopping there, police said. Cities across Europe are already on a heightened state of alert.
Police in the German city warn that a terror attack may be imminent.
Between five and seven militants were thought to be planning an attack, Munich's police head Hubertus Andra said.
Germany's Federal Criminal Police Office alerted Munich police after receiving the tip off on NYE, Mr Herrmann said.
Local media reports say the information had come from French authorities.
The city's police said they had called in reinforcements and special police units were already operating in the city.
