Train traffic to and from Copenhagen Airport was temporarily stopped during the morning after a woman on the platform claimed she had a bomb in her bag.

– At 9.18 a woman calls on the platform at the train station and says she has a bomb in her bag, says Martin Kajberg of the Copenhagen Police to the newspaper BT

After a major police operation with cordons and a search with sniffer dogs, it was established that it was a false alarm. During the time the operation was going on, about 15 minutes, trains from Sweden had to drive past the airport and drop off their passengers at Copenhagen Central Station instead, writes Sydsvenskan.

The police do not want to comment on what the woman’s motive might have been. According to Sydsvenskan, it concerns a Swedish woman, who has now been deprived of her liberty.
