A shocking mid-air drama unfolded on an EasyJet flight from London Luton to Glasgow after a man began shouting threats, sparking panic among passengers.
A viral video from the flight shows a man yelling, "I am going to bomb the plane." He was also heard shouting "Death to America, death to Trump," and "Allahu Akbar", which means "God is Great" in Arabic.
Passengers were visibly shaken, and one courageous man stepped in to tackle the suspect to the floor, pinning him down until the flight landed.
As soon as the plane landed in Glasgow, Scottish police boarded the aircraft and arrested the man, a 41-year-old who remains in custody.
"Officers boarded the plane on its arrival and a 41-year-old man was arrested and remains in custody. Enquiries are continuing," Police Scotland said in a statement.
EasyJet released a statement saying the “safety of the flight and other customers was not compromised at any time.” The airline also thanked the crew and passengers for handling the situation calmly.
Interestingly, US President Donald Trump is currently in Scotland. He’s there for official talks and recently announced a breakthrough deal with EU chief Ursula von der Leyen to end a tariff dispute and prevent a trade war.
While the man’s rant mentioned Trump, there is no confirmed link between the outburst and the President’s visit.
