A man has died at a shopping centre in Melbourne after reportedly barricading himself inside a toilet cubicle following a failed robbery attempt.

Victoria Police were called to Lynbrook Shopping Centre in the city’s south-east after reports of a robbery on Friday afternoon. 

The man had allegedly been trying to rob a store in the mall before he barricaded himself in the toilet while being chased by police, reports The Herald Sun. 

It is understood he died at the scene. 

A dozen emergency vehicles were seen outside the centre during the initial police response. 

CCTV footage caught paramedics wheeling a man out of the building on a stretcher.

More to come.
