A terminal at Milan's international airport was evacuated on Monday after a man smashed a car into the departure lounge because he wanted to stop his wife from leaving, police sources said.
The man, a Tunisian national who carried a knife, was shot in the foot by a policeman and taken to hospital, the sources said, after he drove an SUV into Terminal 1, shattering a section of glass.
The SEA company that runs Malpensa airport said check-in operations had been briefly suspended, but normal operations resumed by mid-afternoon.
"There are absolutely no signs that suggest what happened had any connection with terrorism," SEA's president Giuseppe Bonomi was quoted by news agency ANSA as saying.
