**LUTON/GLASGOW —** An EasyJet flight from London Luton to Glasgow made an unscheduled landing on Sunday morning after an Indian passenger falsely claimed to have a bomb and began chanting Arabic slogans.

Video circulating online shows 41‑year‑old Indian national **Abhay Devdas Nayak**, of Luton, emerging from the restroom around an hour into flight EZY609 and shouting anti-American slogans and at the end shouting, “Allahu Akbar!”

Witnesses say other travelers tackled Nayak to the floor, warning him that “families are on this plane,” before crew members and passengers secured him in the cabin.

The pilot diverted the aircraft, landing at Glasgow Airport at approximately 8:20 am, where police officers arrested the man.

Nayak was charged with assault and endangering aircraft safety at Paisley Sheriff Court. He declined to enter pleas and remains in custody pending his next court appearance.

Authorities have not brought terrorism charges, and investigators believe the incident was a hoax rather than a genuine security threat.

The disruption occurred as former U.S. President Donald Trump was visiting his Turnberry golf course in Scotland, roughly an hour’s flight from Glasgow.

EasyJet confirmed in a statement that the passenger’s removal followed his behavior and that no explosives were found.
