CHICAGO (WBBM NEWSRADIO) -- City airport officials released video of the arrest of a man who allegedly lived at O’Hare International Airport for three months.

Aditya Singh, 36, told police that the coronavirus pandemic left him afraid to fly, causing him to hide in a secured area at the airport, prosecutors have said.

The Chicago Department of Aviation, which released the video, has said Singh did not pose a security risk to the airport or the public.
