Passengers pin down man who tries to open plane door mid-flight
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A passenger was held back from trying to open plane doors mid-flight. Footage shows flight attendants and passengers on the London Gatwick flight from the Dominican Republic restraining the man on June 29. Oore Fabunmi, 25, said she was sat behind the man when he suddenly stood up and ran toward the front of the aircraft. Screams erupted from throughout the cabin as he tried to pry open the doors. Passengers stepped in to pin the man down before TUI airline staff stepped in to detain him. He remained sat with staff for the rest of the flight and was escorted off the plane by police officers upon landing in London. Oore, a hearings officer from south London, said: 'It was pretty scary at first. 'I remember just seeing him leave the row in front of me and run forward. 'Next thing I heard was just screams coming from the front. 'My first thought was that we were being hijacked and we might die – like in the movies.' Oore said she interacted with the man at the beginning of the flight as she helped him find the correct seat. Oore said: 'I had chatted to him earlier in the journey. I got onto the plane with some friends I'd made on the holiday and he was actually sitting in one of their seats. 'They asked him to move and he seemed confused about his ticket so I helped him find his seat. 'He seemed alright after that until he started getting agitated halfway through the flight.' But four hours into the eight hour flight, Oore said the man began to grow restless. She said: 'He stood up on his seat, which I obviously thought was strange and then he just ran to the doors.' Passengers intervened and tried to pin the man down before airline staff stepped in to detain him. Oore said: 'All of it was quite strange. I think he clearly needed some help. More Trending 'He did not seem mentally well. I remember him muttering something about his wife being on a cruise, both at his seat and later by the door. 'But outside of that, I have no idea why he did what he did.' The man remained sat for the rest of the journey and passengers were asked to remain seated after landing while police came aboard to escort him off. The TUI Group have been contacted for comment.
