Anti-Trump Man Arrested After UK Flight Bomb Threat
The News
A deranged passenger Sunday forced an emergency landing at Scotland’s Glasgow Airport after yelling he had a bomb on board and wanted to “send a message” to President Trump, who is visiting there.
Harrowing footage aboard easyJet flight 609 showed the moment the suspect, who has only been identified as a 41-year-old man, began shouting, “Allahu Akbar!” and making threats at Trump, who was just an hour away at his Turnberry golf course.
“I’m going to bomb the plane! Death to America! Death to Trump!” the man yelled before he was quickly tackled to the ground by fellow passengers.
A 41-year-old man has been arrested for the disturbance on easyJet flight EZY609 from Luton to Glasgow, after crew restrained him on July 27, 2025.

“At that point, one guy managed to grab him from behind and pull him down, then everyone jumped on top of him,” the passenger said.
“He was fighting a bit on the floor, but at this point, he knew he’d f—ked up.”
The hero passengers were able to keep the man in place until the jet landed and police and airport officials confirmed there were no explosives on board as they took the suspect into custody.
As authorities walked the suspect down the aisle, he could be heard asking about his missing phone and wallet, prompting a passenger to yell, “F–k off!” with the plane bursting into laughter.
Timeline
The incident happened around 8 a.m., just an hour after the plane took off from London’s Luton Airport, with the suspect shouting his threats after coming out of the bathroom, a witness told The Sun.
Reactions
The men holding the suspect in place could be seen then interrogating him, with several passengers slamming him as an “idiot” for threatening innocent people in a stunt directed toward Trump.
EasyJet confirmed that a suspect had been arrested by police after the emergency landing.
“Flight EZY609 from Luton to Glasgow this morning was met by police on arrival in Glasgow, where they boarded the aircraft and removed a passenger due to their behavior onboard,” the company said in a statement.
