By Kathryn ArmstrongBBC News
A hostage situation at Hamburg Airport involving a young child has ended after 18 hours, according to local police.
The Man drove through a security barrier and onto The Airport tarmac on Saturday Night with his four-year-old daughter in The Car and parked under a plane.
He eventually gave himself up to The Authorities " without resistance" according to police, and was arrested.

Local media reported that negotiations with The Man were conducted in Turkish through A Translator , but it is unclear what his connection to the country is.
