People reported more on the incident:
A man was arrested after he claimed he had a bomb — and made other eye-raising remarks — on a plane.
ADVERTISEMENTThe 41-year-old man was on an easyJet flight headed from London’s Luton Airport to Glasgow, Scotland, on Sunday, July 27, when he first called out, “Stop the plane,” according to social media footage of the incident obtained by the Daily Mail and the BBC.
The man — whose identity has not yet been shared publicly — then said, “Find the bomb on the plane,” before he yelled: “Death to America. Death to Trump.”
He then screamed “Allahu Akbar,” which translates to “God is great” in Arabic, several times, before another passenger appeared to tackle him and held him to the ground.
As another passenger joined in, sitting on the man and telling him, “Sit down. Don’t move,” the flight crew could then be heard announcing that the plane would be “landing very shortly,” before other passengers began to question the man.
“Do you have a bomb?” one person inquired, as others asked the man about whether he had been drinking or taking drugs.
Police Scotland told PEOPLE authorities boarded the aircraft once it arrived and arrested the man. The 41-year-old “remains in custody,” police said.
In a statement to PEOPLE, a easyJet spokesperson confirmed that the incident took place and that the passenger was removed “due to their behavior onboard.”
The representative continued, “easyJet’s crew are trained to assess all situations and act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other customers is not compromised at any time.”
“The safety and well-being of our customers and crew is always easyJet’s highest priority,” the spokesperson for British airline added.
