Last night police has informed that there have been abstractions by a passenger jet to Stansted Airport under RAF escort. For this reason they have arrested a British citizen.

The Etihad aircraft took-off from Abu Dhabi to London Heathrow yesterday but the route got changed as a passenger started threatening the other passengers. The aircraft got accompanied by two RAF jets that were moved quickly to save the passengers.

The police arrested a 37-year-old British after arrival. Essex Police has informed that a report of disturbances and threatening passengers and crew was registered by the pilots and on behalf of this complain they have arrested the accused.

The cases of hijacking and hostage-taking are being handled by Stansted which is the capital's pre-designated airport. The instant help given by the RAF jets allows for a plane to be rescued. This is done as it is feared that it might be used as a flying bomb.

The passengers had thought that there was a spate when the aircraft broke through the clouds. Later on someone exclaimed that it was Stansted rather than Heathrow.
