Armed police have boarded a plane at Heathrow airport and arrested three men over a verbal threat, according to Sky News sources.
Sky News crime correspondent Martin Brunt said the men were described as “people who had too much to drink”.
The Metropolitan Police said three people have been arrested.
Passenger Cameron McLean said one man was taken off the plane in handcuffs before sniffer dogs were brought in.
“Police just swarmed the guy and rushed him out.
