Gardaí in Cork have arrested an armed man who tried to ram an aeroplane in a stolen fire engine at Cork airport this afternoon.

The man, who is in his forties, had earlier attacked a garda in Cork city centre and slashed him in the face with a knife before stealing a Garda traffic jeep and driving to Cork airport where he rammed through the perimeter fence.

The man then stole an airport fire tender and rammed a number of vehicles before trying to ram a parked plane. It is not clear if the plane he attempted to ram was a commercial passenger jet.

A large number of garda, including armed members of the regional support unit, arrested the man at the airport under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act and also seized a 12 inch knife.

He is being questioned at Togher Garda station.

There are no reports of any shots being fired. The injured garda has been taken to hospital for treatment to his injuries which are not thought to be life-threatening.

A man is in custody in Cork this evening following a series of incidents which saw a garda slashed in the face and a stolen vehicle attempting to ram planes on the apron at the city's airport.

Eyewitnesses said the series of events began in the city centre at around 5pm this evening, when the garda was slashed in the face with a knife by a man in his 40s.

The suspect subsequently stole the garda's jeep and drove it to the airport at high speed, forcing shoppers and motorists to flee in terror.

The vehicle is believed to have been driven through security gates onto the airfield. A fire truck was then stolen and driven around the apron.

Witnesses said the suspect appeared to be attempting to ram planes.

Members of the garda's armed Regional Support Unit at the scene finally subdued the driver, using tasers in the process, and he was taken into custody.

How the fcuk did was he not caught long before even reaching the airport.

Poor Guy obviously has some serious mental health issues. Hope the cop's slash is superficial.
