The 35-year-old armed Turkish man who held his child hostage at the Hamburg airport has been handed over.
The man held his 4-year-old daughter hostage in his car for over 15 hours, but the incident ended shortly before and the 35-year-old man was arrested.
The police were negotiating all these hours with the 35-year-old with specialist psychologists. In fact, German officials warned that the airport will remain closed to takeoffs and landings until the situation is resolved.
According to German media, the 35-year-old is of Turkish origin and allegedly had a dispute with the child's mother over custody and kidnapped the little girl on Saturday afternoon. Bild reported that the man wanted to travel with her to Turkey by plane.
The mother had earlier notified the police, denouncing the kidnapping of the child. The man fired two shots into the air, a federal police spokesman said.
Air traffic at Hamburg airport was immediately suspended, while terminals were closed and dozens of flights were cancelled.
