Passenger aboard Emirates flight terrifies passengers by shouting ‘Allah-o-Akbar’

A man on board an Emirates flight which was flying from Dubai to Birmingham terrified all the passengers as he showed very unusual behavior. The passenger, identified as Shehraz Sarwar, created panic on the flight by shouting ‘Allah-o-Akbar’ and ‘boom’.

According to the details provided Sarwar was apprehended at the Birmingham airport for using threatening words and behavior on the plane. He also created disturbance on the flight by throwing food and towels around.

According to reports provided by the flight attendants, the 38-year-old passenger had refused to fasten his seatbelt when the plane took off. However, he later settled down and slept for hours at a stretch. However, when the plan was about to land in Birmingham, Sarwar woke up and started creating a stir on the flight.

At the time of landing, he became very aggressive as the plane was also undergoing a lot of turbulence at that time.

Talking to reporters, the prosecutor on the case at the Birmingham Crown Court, Patrick Sullivan said; “The behavior before these words was obnoxious. He fell asleep for about three quarters of the flight and when he woke up he threw a towel back at a member of staff who had offered him one. He also threw a scone behind him although it did not land on anyone.”

“He was also hitting his head with his hand. People were distressed and upset by his behavior,” Sullivan added.

Meanwhile Sarwar has pleaded guilty to all the charges against him and his lawyer Balbir Singh clarified that his client’s condition was not stable as his grandmother had recently passed away and he had also missed his medication.
