A man was removed from an easyJet flight from London to Glasgow on Sunday, after repeatedly shouting 'Allahu Akbar' and yelling that he has a bomb.
He claimed he wanted to "send a message" to US President Donald Trump, who is currently in Scotland.
Footage seen by the BBC showed the suspected terrorist shouting "death to America, death to Trump."
Video footage seen by Glasgow-based outlet The Renfrewshire Gazette showed passengers tackling the suspected terrorist.
One passenger told London-based tabloid, The Sun: “He literally came out of the toilet shouting ‘Allahu Akbar’ with his hands above his head. Then he said ‘I’ve got a bomb, I’ve got a bomb’ - at this point, people were confused."
"I thought he was joking, I mean, it’s a weird joke.” They said: “He pushed the airline staff and was being aggressive towards them. He was a big guy, about six foot, and they were these petite women," the passenger added.
"When he pushed them, that’s when things changed. At that point, one guy managed to grab him from behind and pull him down, then everyone jumped on top of him. “He was fighting a bit on the floor, but at this point he knew he’d f***** up."
The plane was forced to undergo an emergency landing at Glasgow Airport, where police boarded the plane, handcuffed the individual, and forcibly removed him.
The flight was only minutes away from landing at Glasgow Airport as scheduled when the bomb threat occurred, but it required air traffic control to facilitate an emergency landing.
According to a passenger cited by The Sun, the suspected terrorist's wallet appeared to show that he was an Indian national carrying a refugee status card.
According to another witness cited by The Sun, the flight attendants checked the suspected terrorist's bag and realized that there was no bomb inside.
Another passenger told The Sun that the suspected terrorist admitted to police officers that he did not have a bomb, and "gave up."
