A driver has been shot and wounded by police after crashing his car through a window at Milan airport and then threatening officers with a knife.
Police at Malpensa airport ruled out any terrorist motive for the incident, but refused to give further details.
Airport worker Luigi Pagani was just yards away when the car’s bonnet smashed through the departure terminal’s window.
“I thought initially it was an accident. It wasn’t like they smashed through the window and erupted armed into the terminal,” he said.
A few moments passed, “then he came out of the vehicle, the knife well-exposed. We didn’t ask a lot of questions. We thought only of getting away”.
olice confirmed the man was a Tunisian and had been shot by an officer. He is being treated at hospital.
The airport was briefly evacuated but had resumed normal operations by early on Monday afternoon.
