A deranged passenger Sunday forced an emergency landing at Scotland\u2019s Glasgow Airport after yelling he had a bomb on board and wanted to \u201csend a message\u201d to President Trump<\/a>, who is visiting there.<\/p>\n

Harrowing footage aboard easyJet flight 609 showed the moment the suspect, who has only been identified as a 41-year-old man, began shouting, \u201cAllahu Akbar!\u201d and making threats at Trump, who was just an hour away at his Turnberry golf course<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to bomb the plane! Death to America! Death to Trump!\u201d the man yelled before he was quickly tackled to the ground by fellow passengers.<\/p>\n

The incident happened around 8 a.m., just an hour after the plane took off from London\u2019s Luton Airport, with the suspect shouting his threats after coming out of the bathroom, a witness told The Sun<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt that point, one guy managed to grab him from behind and pull him down, then everyone jumped on top of him,\u201d the passenger said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was fighting a bit on the floor, but at this point, he knew he\u2019d f\u2014ked up.\u201d<\/p>\n

The men holding the suspect in place could be seen then interrogating him, with several passengers slamming him as an \u201cidiot\u201d for threatening innocent people in a stunt directed toward Trump.<\/p>\n

One of the men who held down the suspect called him an \u201cidiot\u201d for the stunt, which was allegedly aimed at President Trump. X\/Inteltower<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

As authorities walked the suspect down the aisle, he could be heard asking about his missing phone and wallet, prompting a passenger to yell, \u201cF\u2013k off!\u201d with the plane bursting into laughter.<\/p>\n

Scotland police said the case remains under investigation, with officials noting that the man appeared to act alone with no greater threat to the public.<\/p>\n
