A man was arrested on Friday after firing a gun outside an Athens court.

The man, reportedly a relative of Marios Papageorgiou, the 26-year-old victim in an ongoing kidnapping and murder trial, was speaking to the media outside the appeals court in Athens when he pulled out a handgun firing three shots in the air.

Undercover agents arrested the man as he left the scene.

No one was injured during the incident.
