Aggressive passenger causes police action at Memmingen Airport!

How are things at Memmingen Airport? On Sunday, a 55-year-old Georgian caused a stir when he was removed from a plane and arrested shortly before departure for Kutaisi. The incident began when the crew alerted the border police due to his aggressive behavior. The man defied the crew's instructions, which ultimately led to the pilot excluding him before takeoff. This decision was unavoidable because he refused to leave the plane and insulted the other passengers, as Schwäbische.de reports.

The situation escalated when police officers arrived to remove the man from the security area. However, he defended himself vehemently, kicked at the officers and spat on them. It took four police officers to overpower and restrain the Georgian. Fortunately, the officers were uninjured, while the passenger suffered abrasions. A case of physical assault on law enforcement officers was initiated. Despite his willingness to use violence, the man was able to have several thousand euros in cash with him, but refused to provide a security deposit of 2,000 euros or to name an authorized delivery agent.

Arrest and warrant

After the arrest, the authorities took action. The Georgian was brought before the investigating judge at the district court on Monday. The investigation was ongoing and an arrest warrant was issued. As a result, the man was transferred to a correctional facility, which marked the end of a turbulent incident at Memmingen Airport. Details can also be found on AllgäuHit.

An incident like this is not an everyday occurrence, especially at a transportation hub like this. Nevertheless, it shows how quickly tensions can arise at the airport and that security forces must always be vigilant to ensure the safety of all passengers. The circumstances of what happened could therefore also influence the course of action in the future.
