Berlin Brandenburg Airport’s Terminal 1 is evacuated after police receive a report that a woman claims to be carrying a suspicious or toxic substance, emergency services rush to the scene.
According to reports, the woman approaches or reaches a service point and says she has a hazardous substance in her handbag. Police treat the claim as a potential security and hazardous-materials risk, arrest the woman, and carry out the evacuation of the terminal as a precaution.
Outlets differ slightly in wording: one describes the incident as a “security issue,” while another frames it as a “hazardous materials” alert. Both accounts, however, align on the central details—an individual makes the claim about carrying a substance, police respond with an evacuation of Terminal 1, and the woman is arrested shortly after the alert.
