Manchester Terminal 2 petrol incident?

Does anyone know anything about an incident today in Manchester's Terminal 2, involving a member of the public trying to set light to a petrol device?

Roadblocks around Manch last night disappeared by this morning.
Perhaps the fog had something to do with it.

Strange incident outside T2 at lunchtime yesterday involving an Islamic Family , a petrol fire across the road and a threat to burn a baby.
By all accounts 2 policemen took the man out very skillfully.
Nothing seen in the press yet.

Apparently, the man tried to torch his family. The prompt action by a nearby policeman saved the situation from becoming fatal.

A blazing domestic row?
