PASSENGERS on board a British Airways flight had a scary ride after a man ran through the plane saying he had a bomb.

The male passenger on the flight from London to Dubai reportedly told everyone they were going to die according to the Independent UK. But the man, who was arrested by authorities in Dubai has now walked free.

A British radio DJ tweeted about the event after his daughter who was on the flight recounted the ordeal.

Steve Penk said it took five crew members and a passenger to eventually restrain the man who was sitting in front of his daughter.
