Medical care for Cork Airport Mecca man
A major security alert was triggered at the airport just after 7pm on Tuesday when the 25-year Libyan national became upset after approaching a ticket desk in the departures area enquiring about flights to Islam’s holy city, Mecca.
Ticket desk staff alerted airport police, who responded, but gardaí were alerted when the man became increasingly agitated and delirious, began rocking back and forth, and then refused to engage with airport security.
