GuardianOne man was tasered after getting into a debate with EasyJet staff over a man bag.
According to witnesses, the man on a flight from Gatwick to Belfast refused to hand over the luggage, and would not comply with the hand luggage rules the airline have, which state there can only be one bag per passenger.
After becoming increasingly abusive, the man was eventually tasered by staff, and the incident saw the flight delayed.
Belfast TelegraphObviously the internet reacted in style…
