A security lapse at the Mumbai airport had a 27-year-old mentally-challenged man scaling the fencing wall of the airport on Thursday afternoon to walk up to a Bangalore-bound flight. The Sion resident tried to stop the flight from taking off.

The pilot of the flight noticed the man — who had widened his arms on runway number 27 to stop the flight — and switched off engine to alert ATC staff members. CISF personnel rushed to the spot and nabbed the man. "He suffers from a mental disorder and has been arrested under relevant sections," said a CISF officer. The man was handed over to the airport police by CISF.
