A Polish man who threatened to blow up a building in central Warsaw gave himself up after hours of negotiations that began early on Friday, police said on Saturday.

Television news channel TVN 24 reported the unnamed man had warned he would blow up the offices of a stock brokerage of Poland's Millennium bank unless he was allowed to talk to a well-known Polish television journalist.

Police said the man wanted to tell Ryszard Cebula about how a forger had stolen his life savings.

"It seems he didn't want to harm anyone and just wanted to find a way of expressing the fact he felt cheated by the banking system," a police spokeswoman said, adding she could not say yet whether the man had any explosives.
