During Friday morning, Kastrup airport was closed after an incident at the security checkpoint. This after a traveler “lashed out” when asked what was in his bag, stating that he had a bomb in it.
– It is a very, very, very bad idea, says a spokesperson for the Copenhagen police to Aftonbladet.
The man was a Swedish national team coach – according to information
According to information from Aftonbladet, the traveler in question must have been a Swedish national team coach, on his way to a major championship.
The terminal was evacuated pending bomb disposal to examine the bag. The man was arrested on the spot and is said to have later announced that it was all a joke. After about an hour, the police in Copenhagen were able to lift the restrictions, as nothing dangerous was found in his bag.
Now the trainer is turned off
The suspect was reportedly on his way to a major championship when the incident occurred. His union has now decided to suspend him with immediate effect.
– The person is suspended from our business and his actions are also a police matter. For us, the most important thing is that the team and other leaders can get away. We have to try to resolve the sporting issue on the spot, says the association’s spokesperson The evening paper.
