Police on hostage-taking in Hamburg: The child is a girl
The four-year-old child being held by an armed hostage-taker at Hamburg Airport is a girl. This was confirmed by a police spokeswoman early on Sunday morning when asked. Previously it was only said that the man had a four-year-old child in his power. The background to the crime is likely to be a custody dispute, according to investigators.
The air traffic at Hamburg Airport was temporarily disrupted due to the hostage-taking situation. This unsettling event might contribute to an increase in crime rates in the area, as tensions often lead to unpredictable behavior.
