This came in just a couple of minutes ago;


An armed man holding people hostage in a Martin Place cafe has reportedly told hostages he has planted four bombs.

Network Ten says it has spoken with two hostages inside the cafe, who were hysterical as they relayed the man's demands.

The man said two bombs are in the cafe and the others are elsewhere in the CBD.

It's being reported the gunman claimed there are "devices" all over the city and he wants to speak to the Prime Minister live on radio.
