A Spirit Airlines flight was delayed at Las Vegas airport on Saturday after a passenger stripped n*ked and approached a flight attendant during boarding at around 11.30am,
Dailymail UK reports.
The plane was bound for Oakland, California, but was held on the tarmac until the unidentified passenger was removed by police.
It is not clear how long the plane was delayed for or how the person approached Spirit staff, but once the passenger was removed, boarding carried on as normal.
Police are describing the incident as a 'medical episode' and say the person involved needed treatment after being removed from the aircraft.
Officers did not disclose on Sunday whether the passenger was arrested afterwards, while Spirit Airlines has not yet commented on the incident.
