Man with gun caught at Den Haag train station

Police in The Hague apprehended a 24-year old man on Den Haag Centraal Station on Tuesday. The man was carrying several fire arms, the Public Prosecution Authority (OM) report.

The police is now investigating where the weapons came from.

A spokesperson for the ministry of Foreign Affairs said that American president Barack Obama and the German Chancellor Angela Merkel were still busy discussing bilateral ties on Tuesday before departing for the Summit. This is why they arrived later to the World Forum. Their delay had nothing to do with the arrest of the armed man at Den Haag CS.
