Naked protest following flight overbooking
An airline passenger stripped naked in protest at his flight being overbooked.
According to witnesses at Charlotte Douglas International Airport in North Carolina, the man was trying to board a US Airways flight to Jamaica.
Airport security surrounded the man as he started to strip, but he stood naked on the concourse for about an hour before being taken away by police.
An airport employee said the man was angry over his flight.
Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police confirmed that they responded to a ‘disturbance call where a male was suffering from a medical issue’, reports the Daily Mail.
