Watch: People flee the Sydney cafe where hostage situation is on

A total of five hostages have been seen fleeing from the cafe in Sydney, Australia, where a gunman is holding hostages. It remains unclear how many hostages are still inside. State Deputy Police Commissioner, Catherine Burn, says, "I can confirm that five people have now emerged from the location on Martin Place. The first thing that we will do is make sure that they are ok. And then we will work with them to find out more information." She further added, "Police negotiators have had contact and they continue to have contact. And a peaceful resolution will be what we are working towards. We have our negotiators on site."
