A man unleashed a round of gunfire and hurled a grenade at the Istanbul offices of Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, Turkish media reported Thursday citing police. The grenade did not go off.
Police said the man was arrested almost immediately at Dolmabahce Palace in Istanbul.
“We know his identity and the links he has, but we don't want to share it now,” Istanbul police chief Selami Altiok told Turkish daily Hurriyet. “He’s served time in prison before.”
The man also reportedly had an automatic weapon, two more grenades and a homemade bomb on his person.
Police and security officers, some of whom were clad in red ceremonial costumes in honor of Turkey's founder, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, cordoned off the area.
The suspect was taken to a police station. A bomb disposal team was sent out to the area, with Turkey’s NTV channel reporting that the device was destroyed in a controlled explosion.
