An Ohio man who became loud and disruptive aboard a flight from Miami to Detroit -- at one point shouting ``kill all the Jews'' -- was removed from the airplane and taken into custody by Miami-Dade police.
The man arrested was identified as Mansor Mohammad Asad, 43. Police say he caused a ``disturbance,'' forcing the pilot to decide to return to the jet-bridge.
When Asad was taken off the plane to be interviewed by police, he threatened officers, made racial comments and charged an officer, authorities said.
Asad was charged with threats against a public servant, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer without violence to his person.
The action taken by officials on the Delta Airlines flight comes at a time of heightened security at U.S. airports following the foiled attempt by a Nigerian to blow up an airplane on Christmas Day.
FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said the bureau was notified and concluded it was a local police matter.
On Wednesday, the crew aboard the flight scheduled to leave at 5:45 p.m. from Miami International Airport decided to return the flight to its gate, where police took four passengers into custody, according to Homeland Security spokeswoman Sari Koshetz.
She said four passengers were taken off a plane from Miami to Detroit after making ``inappropriate remarks and acting disruptively.''
Police did not release any information about the other passengers.
After the passengers were removed, those onboard were rescreened and the flight was cleared for departure.
According to Miami-Dade police, here's what happened:
The plane was taxiing when the captain decided to return to the jet-bridge.
Passengers on the plane told police Asad was ``loud and disruptive, using anti-Semitic references such as, `I'm Palestinian and I want kill all the Jews,' '' Miami-Dade police Detective Javier Baez said in a statement.
Asad was speaking in a foreign language, thought to be Arabic.
He was taken off the plane and searched, police said. While they tried to search him, he berated officers and made racist comments.
According to the arrest affidavit, Asad said: `` `I'm not afraid of you cops. I've gotten in fights with cops in Ohio and broke their arms in three places. I've broken skulls too.' ''
He then prayed and chanted, before telling a cop to ``Go back to Africa, you white racist cop!''
Asad was searched, but officers did not find any weapons or explosives.
During the search, his socks and shoes were removed. An officer took off Asad's right handcuff so he could put them back on.
When the officer did that, Asad once again started yelling at the officers.
He ``stood up and rolled his sleeves up. He then clenched his fists and charged,'' toward an officer, the report said.
He wouldn't stop and an officer used a Taser on him. Asad fell to the ground, but did not listen to officers' commands and then tried to stand up. A Taser was used a second time.
He was then handcuffed and taken to the jail.
Ahhhh, there ya go. Let’s just keep talking and meeting and see how that works out for all of us.
But did they search his undies?
How long until he sues the cops for a violation of his civil rights?
was this guy on drugs?
Mansor Mohammad Asad? I suspect that he’s another one of those Amish terrorists hiding out in the Pennsylvania Dutch countryside. >sarc
I bet he was a smoker
But let’s not profile anyone. he’s just another “isolated extremist”, of course, who... just happens to be a Muslim man between the ages of 18 and 45. Not that that means anything, of course.
Sounds to me like he was probably just reading aloud from the Koran.
ML/NJ
He's trying to quit. I heard he's down to two pairs of underwear a day.
reefer madness?
The horrible reality is that this guy represents the core beliefs of his religion. How are we going to ever assimmilate this kind of lunacy? Why are we trying?
Leni
Yep. My thoughts exactly.
I guess Detroit hasn’t suffered enough...
He was only trying to get back to Jihad,Mi.Sorry, I meant
Dearborn,Mi.
Looks Amish to me!
No one with the name Mohammad should be allowed to fly anywhere!!!!
Don’t you know, we just haven’t kissed their azzes-oops I mean we just haven’t been accepting enough of their diversity. We’re supposed to embrace Islam, sharia, goat-shagging and all.
They have been enabled and more sure of themselves to get away with unacceptable behavior. The ACLU will get more business.
