Special forces had to be brought in to defuse booby traps found in the building, according to police.

“We are currently investigating all possibilities. Possible connections to other locations in Munich are being examined, including the Theresienwiese (where the Oktoberfest is located),” said Munich police on the WhatsApp messaging service.

“For this reason, the opening of the festival grounds has been delayed,” police added.
