Man arrested after ramming truck on Araxos Air Base entrance 

A 47-year-old man was to appear before a prosecutor later on Monday after his arrest on Sunday night for smashing his truck into the entrance of the Hellenic Air Force’s 116 Combat Wing at Araxos Airport, northwestern Greece. 

According to news agency AMNA, the man drove to the entrance of the air base, parked his truck and started shouting at the guards, who called the police. Officers at the scene asked him to leave but instead he suddenly started his car and smashed it into the entrance, causing minimum damage. 

After he was detained, police found two knives, an ax and 4,000 euros in the truck. It was not clear what his motive was.
