Six people have been killed at dozens injured after a gun attack in Krakow, Poland.

The attack took place around 3pm local time on Saturday in the city's main market square. A man drove into the square and then began to fire at random from his car.

Armed officers engaged with the suspect, who was shot within three minutes of the attack beginning. He has since died in hospital.

The attacker has not been named, but police said he was a 24-year-old man. He was wearing military-style attire during the attack and also had a military-grade weapon. However, authorities said he was not a soldier.

It has been reported that the attacker was inspired by far-right ideologies.

His home has been searched by counter-terrorism police.

The man died in hospital on Monday morning.

Six people are confirmed to have been killed. These include the alleged gunman's parents and sister, whose bodies were found at the gunman's house. Four of the confirmed victims are polish and the others are British and Austrian.

16 people were taken to hospital, including five foreigners, two police officers and the attacker.
