Man arrested after smashing airport monitors and starting fires in Milan
Tensions erupted at an airport in Milan, Italy, when a 28-year-old man entered the check-in area and began causing damage.
Footage shows the man using a hammer to smash digital information screens as a fire began spreading near the check-in counters.
The man allegedly sprayed a flammable liquid on a counter and a trash container before setting them on fire. The resulting smoke caused panic and prompted a partial evacuation of the terminal.
Amid the chaos, a passenger grabbed a fire extinguisher and confronted the man. After spraying him, the passenger managed to knock him down, while others helped restrain him until airport police arrived.
Italian authorities identified the suspect as a Malian citizen who legally resides in Italy under subsidiary protection. He reportedly had no previous criminal record.
