An Ohio man found himself grounded when his anti-Semitic vitriol got him yanked from a plane.
"I want to kill all the Jews," Mansor Mohammad Asad proclaimed as cops removed him from a Detroit-bound Northwest Airlines flight out of Miami-Dade International airport, cops said.
The 43-year-old Toledo resident's ranting reportedly forced the taxiing flight to return to the gate, where he was arrested.
Asad was chanting in a foreign language and claiming to be Palestinian, witnesses reportedly told investigators who boarded the plane.
When approached by cops, Asad spewed threats at the officers, the Associated Press reported, citing a police affidavit. "I'm not afraid of you cops, I've gotten in fights with cops in Ohio and broke their arms in three places," Asad said, according to the affidavit. "I've broken skulls too!"
He was brought down with a stun gun after charging an officer. Cops found no weapons explosives after searching Asad.
The police affidavit says the outburst did not appear to be prompted by alcohol, the Associated Press reported.
Asad was taken to Miami-Dade County jail following his arrest. He was charged with making threats against a public servant, disorderly conduct, and resisting an officer, the Associated Press reported, citing a statement from Miami-Dade Police.
Three of his traveling companions were also removed from the flight and interrogated, according to the Transportation Security Administration.
The FBI, which was involved in the initial investigation, said through a spokeswoman his outburst does not appear to be a terrorism-related matter.
Following Asad's removal, the plane was searched and allowed to take off.
