Cops shot the attacker - who is said to be Bulgarian - with a service weapon on the corner of St Pauls Square and Bavariang.
She died in the hospital after undergoing emergency surgery, Bild reports.
The area currently remains cordoned off to the public with armed cops alongside Munich's Criminal Investigation Department at the scene.
Sniffer dogs are also on the hunt for any clues while bandages were harrowingly seen on the ground at the Oktoberfest site.

Joachim Herrman, Bavaria's Interior Minister, told Bild: "I am very grateful to the Munich police for their swift intervention and stopping the knife attacker.
"Her death is regrettable, but unfortunately, it was probably unavoidable."
According to cops, the victims suffered "minor injuries".

Donald Trump slams ‘big-time drug addict' Elon Musk as toxic feud intensifies
It came after the Tesla billionaire linked Mr Trump to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DONALD Trump called Elon Musk a 'big-time drug addict' as his spat with the world's richest man intensified.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Donald Trump called Elon Musk a 'big-time drug addict' as his spat with the world's richest man intensified Credit: AFP It came after the Tesla billionaire linked Mr Trump to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Their feud went public on Thursday night as both men used their own social media platforms — X and Truth Social — to insult each other. Mr Musk, 53, turned on the US leader, calling his Congressional spending bill a 'disgusting abomination' on Wednesday. The President, 78, has called it his 'big, beautiful bill', but Mr Musk believes it will increase national debt by an unsustainable amount. It triggered the ugly public bust-up, with Musk calling for Trump to be impeached and accusing him of being a close associate of Epstein. Yesterday, Mr Musk deleted the post, which was seen hundreds of millions of times. The Washington Post reported Mr Trump used private calls to urge his allies not to pour fuel on the fire and told Vice President JD Vance to be cautious. But the President, whose campaign took £250million from Mr Musk, is also said to have become weary with the tycoon's alleged drug use. He called Mr Musk an 'addict' in the calls and claimed he 'lost his mind' after leaving the administration. The businessman previously admitted using ketamine, but it is alleged he became so hooked last year it affected his kidneys. Trump insists Elon Musk is lashing out at 'big beautiful bill' for personal reason as he admits he's 'disappointed' in Tesla boss Mr Musk officially left the government last week but said he would remain as a 'friend and adviser' to Mr Trump. The President last night said he had 'no intention' of speaking to Mr Musk, adding: 'I think it's a very bad thing because he's very disrespectful'.

Shock death of newborn ‘Baby C' at women's prison being probed
The tot's gender and mother's condition has not been disclosed following the death behind bars TOT DEATH PROBE Shock death of newborn 'Baby C' at women's prison being probed Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PRISON bosses are investigating the tragic death of a newborn baby inside a jail. The child was just one day old when they died at HMP Foston Hall in Derbyshire. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up An inquest into 'Baby C' is set to be held to establish how it died at the prison, which also has a Young Offenders' Institution. The tot's gender and mother's condition has not been disclosed following the death behind bars on October 16, 2023. It was confirmed by the Prison and Probations Ombudsman after featuring in its latest Independent Investigations Annual Report. Ombudsman Adrian Usher said: 'We are saddened to confirm that the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman are investigating the death of a baby. 'We offer our sincerest condolences to the family.' The newborn was among 292 deaths inside prisons in 2023/24, according to the report. A final investigation report will be published by the PPO after the inquest has finished. Three babies have now died in the English prison system in the last five years following deaths at HMP Bronzefield in 2019 and HMP Styal in 2020. Aisha Cleary died in her mum Rianna's cell at Bronzefield in Surrey, the biggest women's prison in Europe, in September 2019. Rianna, 18, endured more than 12 hours of labour and had repeatedly pressed her 'cell bell' before anyone came to help. Chilling moment prisoners smirk before battering sex offender to death in cell in 37-sec attack - then calmly walk away Officers found her covered in blood with her dead infant after biting through the umbilical cord as she had no other way of severing it. Louise Powell, 31, begged for an ambulance at HMP Styal before giving birth to her stillborn baby girl, Brooke-Leigh, in a toilet. She didn't know she was pregnant before going into labour in June 2020. A PPO report found the duty nurse made 'a serious error of judgement' by not visiting Powell after they were contacted three times about her severe pain.
