According to German media, the man set several fires on the airport grounds and then barricaded himself in the car with his son. The car stopped on the runway near an evacuated Turkish Airlines passenger plane.
Family drama at Hamburg airport
The break-in occurred around 8 p.m. and the man shot twice in the air and threw two Molotov cocktails, which exploded without causing any damage. The man’s wife had previously contacted the police to report a child abduction. The airport was evacuated for security reasons. The origin of the gesture would be a dispute over custody of the child. Hamburg airport had already been closed last month, but due to a threat of attack on a flight coming from Tehran.
Air traffic disrupted
All access to Terminals 1 and 2 has been blocked. A large police force intervened on site and maintained constant contact with the attacker. The closure of the airport affected over 3,200 travelers.
