‘Death to Trump’: EasyJet flight to Scotland diverted after bomb threat
Global News
Footage circulating online shows the man shouting, 'I've got a bomb!' along with 'death to America, death to Trump!'
A man was arrested and charged over a disturbance on an EasyJet flight from London’s Luton Airport to Scotland’s Glasgow Airport on Sunday.
Footage circulating online shows a man on the flight shouting, “I’ve got a bomb!” along with “death to America, death to Trump!” and “Allahu Akbar!” — which translates to “God is great” in Arabic.
The footage then shows another passenger tackling the man and holding him down on the ground as other passengers assist in restraining him.
“Why are you saying you’re going to bomb this plane?” a passenger asks the man, as he’s being held down on the airplane floor.
“Because I want to send a message to Trump,” the man replies, before referencing the U.S. president’s trip, which saw him arrive in Scotland over the weekend.
Police Scotland told People magazine that authorities boarded the aircraft once it arrived and arrested a 41-year-old man. He remains in custody and is due in Paisley Sheriff Court on Monday, reports the BBC.
“At this time, we believe the incident was contained and that nobody else was involved,” police said in a news release, but did not confirm the charges the man faces.
