An 18-hour 'hostage situation' involving a Turkish father accused of plowing through the gates of a German airport with his four-year-old daughter inside his vehicle before igniting several explosives and firing into the air, sparking evacuations and canceled flights, ended Sunday with authorities taking the suspect into custody and assuring the child appeared unharmed. 'The hostage situation is over,' Hamburg Police wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
'Ultimately, the suspect left his Audi early on Sunday afternoon with his daughter in his arms, handed the girl over to the special forces on hand and was then temporarily arrested at 2:25 p.m. without resistance.' Local media reported that the man, who parked his car next to a Turkish Airlines plane during the standoff, had demanded that he and his daughter could leave Germany and fly to Turkey.
