A flight from Rome to Chicago was forced to divert to Belfast after a man on board became irate.
It all started when the man removed his seat belt and stood up shortly after the United Airlines flight had taken off, and while the seat belt sign was still on.
A flight attendant asked him to return to his seat and put his seat belt on, but the man refused to do so until he was given nuts and crackers, according to the BBC.
He was given the snacks as requested, but soon demanded more.
Things escalated after the nuts and crackers demand, with the passenger verbally and physically threatening cabin crew members, according to the police report.
The unruly passenger is also accused of moving bags in overhead bins and going to the bathroom repeatedly.
Cabin crew members felt threatened and informed the pilot, who decided to divert the plane to Belfast.
The man was taken into police custody after the flight safely landed. He told police that there was a conspiracy against him.
