Karachi: An Arab prince was thrown off a plane by police officers armed with 50,000 volt Taser guns because he was drunk.
The royal, said to be a close relative of Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, had boarded a Boeing 777 at London Heathrow airport when he began shouting and complaining about the poor service on the BA125 flight to Doha, Qatar via Bahrain.
Crew members called armed cops, who pointed stun guns at the prince after he refused to calm down.
The billionaire was then dragged off the plane and taken to a West London police station near the airport where his DNA, mugshot and fingerprints were taken before being released on bail.
A police spokeswoman confirmed the incident had happened. She said, “We were called at 10.34am on Sunday July 22 to an outward bound flight to Doha, Qatar, via Bahrain at London Heathrow after a man was reported to be causing a disturbance”.
“A man who is 28 was arrested for being drunk and disorderly and failing to comply with the instructions of the cabin crew. He was taken to a west London police station and bailed to a date in September.”
