Man who drove into police station 'snapped after getting threatened with £10k Covid fine'
A man accused of ramming into a police station and setting the road alight may have been angry over a coronavirus fine.
Reports say police are probing whether a man accused over the incident at Edmonton Police Station may have 'snapped' after being threatened with a £10,000 fine.
Onlookers watched in horror as a man tried and failed to ram through the doors of the station, then hopped out and began pouring out flammable liquid from a container.
The road was then set ablaze outside the police station in north London.

A gym owner has been been slapped with a £67,000 fine for opening his business during lockdown - and could even be jailed if he continues flouting coronavirus restrictions .
More than 30 police officers had swooped on Andreas Michli 's Zone Gym in Wood Green , London , after the businessman and bodybuilder refused to close .

Michli was @ @ @ @ @ @ @ council and told by magistrates to temporarily keep his doors shut until Tuesday when he can contest the full closure in court .
On Thursday afternoon , Highbury Corner Magistrates Court ordered the company cease trading for five days , though the London Borough of Haringey had applied for a civil order to also prevent Michli from even entering the building .
If the business owner breaches the court order he could be charged with a criminal offence and jailed for up to three months , on top of a further fine .

Close to a dozen gym staff and customers gathered outside the court to support Michli , with only three allowed in the hearing due to social distancing rules .

Despite the threat of a £10,000 fine and potential arrest , Michli reopened the gym after police left .
He then posted a video on Facebook saying : `` We are not closing !
