Police were called to Terminal One at Manchester Airport on Friday after a passenger allegedly told staff he was carrying knives and bombs.

Axel Wilhelm from Stasse in Munich appeared before the bench at Trafford Magistrates Court on Saturday.

Anybody heard of "Stasse"? Or do the BBC mean "Axel from Wilhelmstrasse in Munich"? There's something wrong here, surely?

maybe his name is Axel Wilhelm von Stasse and he lives in Munich. They may have just have translated "von " as "from"

Just a guess.

The Abendzeitung today says, "Axel Wilhelm from Riem".

Riem is on the east side of Munich, where the airport used to be.
