A young Arab Israeli man was arrested and will be charged with making terroristic threats after threatening passengers on a flight from England to Israel, according to police reports in Israel.
Tel Aviv Police said that they arrested the 21-year-old man on Saturday, after threatening passengers on a British Airways flight from London to Tel Aviv.
He was also accused of running wildly around the plane and screaming "I will kill you all."
The cabin crew alerted security at Ben Gurion Airport about the dangerous man, and he was arrested upon landing by a security team that boarded the plane.
The man was checked for weapons before being brought in for questioning about his belligerent behavior he exhibited during the flight.
Security officials said that they believe the suspect acted independently, and he is not part of a terror group.
