A man was arrested for allegedly throwing a petrol-filled bottle over the boundary wall of the Mumbai Airport in Mumbai's Santacruz (East), the police said today.
The accused, identified as Ganesh Palekar (29), threw the bottle from the Gaondevi slums along the airport wall after his motorcycle broke down nearby, an official said.
