A man sparked a major security alert at Germany's Hannover Airport after he broke into an airfield and pursued a plane which had just landed.
The man forced open a locked gate and drove onto the airfield, coming to a halt under an Aegean Airlines plane which had just landed from Athens.
Hannover Police chased the vehicle until it stopped underneath the plane, which had 172 passengers on board. The force said officers then "overpowered" the driver and arrested him.
The man, in his mid-20s, was driving a silver BMW with Polish licence plates. Police said he tested positive for amphetamines and cocaine.
Officers said the man's motive was unclear. There was no indication he had an extremist history, or that the incident was terror-related. It's thought he acted alone.
The security scare forced flights to be suspended for four hours on Saturday night as bomb disposal experts examined the car, which police described as a routine measure.
It was found not to have any "dangerous items", with flights eventually resuming just after 8pm local time.
Take-offs as well as landings had been suspended while the incident was investigated, though the airport's terminals remained open.
No one was hurt in the drama. Police were considering whether to have the man taken before a judge on Sunday. His identity remains unknown.
