BERLIN, November 5 /TASS/. About thirty flights were affected in the Hamburg airport as a result of an armed man’s driving to the air harbor’s runway, DPA news agency reported.

Six takeoffs and twenty one landings were expected during the period between the formal closing of the airport at 22:24 p.m. Moscow time (19:24 p.m. GMT) and ordinary stop of flights at 01:00 a.m. Moscow time (22:00 p.m. GMT), the airport’s spokesperson said. Some of them were redirected and the others were canceled.

An armed man that broke into the runway in the Hamburg airport holds a 4-year-old child in his Audi car, the Germany’s Bild am Sonntag reported earlier. The car is now near the business aviation terminal. Law enforcement officials cordoned the car and the first contact was established with the man.
