BERLIN — 德国警方周一表示,两人在莱比锡市机场的安全围栏被损坏后自首,此事引发了人们的担忧,因为今年夏天同一机场曾发生袭击事件,德国当局将其归因于俄罗斯。
BERLIN — German police said Monday that two men turned themselves in after a security fence was damaged at the airport in the city of Leipzig, an incident that raised concerns following an attack at the same airport over the summer that German authorities attributed to Russia.
根据莱比锡警方发布的一份声明,这两名年龄分别为20岁和32岁的男子于周日晚间自首。
The two individuals, aged 20 and 32, turned themselves in on Sunday night, according to a statement issued by the Leipzig police.
这名较年轻的男子通过其律师表示,他在前一晚驾车经过机场区域时失去控制,撞穿了围栏。随后他离开了事故现场,并叫来拖车将汽车拖走。他没有驾驶执照。
The younger man said through a lawyer that he lost control of the car while driving in the airport area the previous night and crashed through the fence. He then left the scene of the accident and sent for the car to be towed away. He did not have a driver’s license.
警方称,这名32岁的男子承认自己是该车的车主,且未提供更多细节。声明还称,该车已被扣押,调查仍在继续。
The 32-year old admitted he was the owner of the car and gave no further details, the police said. The car has been seized and the investigation was continuing, the statement also said.
德国当局此前一直在调查莱比锡机场周围围栏被切出一个大洞的原因。该损坏是在周六晚上大约11点被发现的。警方表示,初步证据表明,一辆车曾沿一条公开可通行的道路冲撞围栏。在机场场地进行搜索的应急团队未发现该车辆或任何入侵者。
German authorities had been investigating how a gaping hole was cut into a fence around Leipzig Airport. The damage was discovered at around 11 p.m. on Saturday. Police said initial evidence suggested that a vehicle had plowed through the fence along a publicly accessible road. Emergency teams that searched the airport grounds didn’t find the vehicle or any intruder.
今年8月,该机场曾发生一起装载炸药的无人机袭击事件。德国当局将该事件归咎于俄罗斯,但莫斯科否认了这一指控。
In August, an attack with an explosives-laden drone took place at the airport. German authorities blamed that on Russia, an allegation denied by Moscow.
