SEVILLE — Four women have escaped a brothel where an armed man had been holding them hostage.
With the aid of the police, they managed to escape through the bars of a window.
They got out at 12.45pm after several hours hiding in a room.
They had hidden after hearing the sound of gunfire in the early hours of the morning.
Three shots have been fired by an unidentified man.
He has refused efforts by a negotiator to end the siege.
The siege started in the early hours of the morning at the Majarabique industrial estate in Seville.
Police were called after a telephone call from the public.
A special operations police unit called GEO has taken up position outside the building.
Officers from GEO usually deal with sieges.
