Dumb Criminals: Airline Passenger In Manchester Strips Naked, Pees On Wall

A plane passenger who stripped and urinated at Manchester Airport was Tasered by police.

The 52-year-old had arrived on an Easyjet flight from Malta when he became abusive. He then stripped off.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesman said police were called to Terminal One at the airport on the afternoon of 26 September following reports of a drunk abusive man.

He was "dry Tasered" and arrested for being drunk. The man was fined.

The term 'dry tasing' means that there is no discharge of electrodes and the Taser is used on bare skin.

This is supposed to be used as a 'pain compliance' tool but articles speak of individuals who only get madder after a couple of these types of jolts.
