Man charged over disturbance on EasyJet flight to Glasgow as terror police probe 'death to Trump' videos
A 41-year-old man has been charged by Police Scotland over the incident on an easyJet flight.
A 41-year-old man has been charged after a disturbance on an easyJet flight from London Luton Airport to Glasgow on Sunday morning, Police Scotland said.
Videos circulated online appeared to show passengers restraining a man on board the easyJet flight on Sunday morning.
The videos posted on social media showed a man shouting “death to America, death to Trump” and “Allahu ackbar” – meaning God is great.
The man is then pinned to the ground by others on the plane. The videos are now being assessed by counter-terrorism officers.
The aircraft landed at Glasgow Airport around 8.20am on Sunday.
Police Scotland said they believed the incident was “contained and that nobody else was involved”.
The force said: “We are aware of videos circulating online and these are being assessed by counter-terrorism officers.”
The 41-year-old is due to appear at Paisley Sheriff Court later on Monday.
The incident had been confirmed on Sunday by easyJet.
A spokesperson said: "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 wellbeing of our customers and crew is always easyJet's highest priority."
