🚨 Hamburg Airport Standoff Concludes with Arrest and Safety

A dramatic scene unfolded at Hamburg airport this weekend when a man, allegedly armed and possibly with explosives, breached the airport's security with his four-year-old daughter amidst a custody dispute. The airport was promptly closed, with police engaging in a standoff. The crisis came to a peaceful end on Sunday afternoon: the suspect was arrested without resistance, and the young girl was found unharmed. This incident, resolving safely, nonetheless highlighted security concerns at the airport, especially following a recent runway breach by climate activists. 🛫👮‍♂️

TL;DR ⏳: Hostage drama at Hamburg airport ends without harm; flights are now back on track. ✈️
