A flight was met by police this morning when it landed at Glasgow Airport due to a 'passenger's behaviour'.

The easyJet A319 aircraft (registration G-EZAN) was flying from London Luton airport, and was only a few minutes from GLA Airport when pilots declared an emergency (squawk 7700).

Flight EZY609 was met by police when it landed, who boarded the aircraft and removed the passenger 'due to their behaviour onboard'.
