That is the moment a Brit goes full Hong Kong Phooey through an, smashing up self-service ticket machines before being arrested for allegedly having viagra on him.
Passengers cower in fear in footage showing a 35-year-old bald-headed man kicking and lashing out at 10 check-in machines within the departure area of Hong Kong Airport.
He then picks up a queue divider, raises it above his head and brings it crashing down on the fallen machines, completing the textbook airline freakout.
Police later arrived and restrained the person on the airport bus stop, where he was allegedly found carrying 4 Viagra pills, in response to the Hong Kong Free Press.
He was detained on suspicion of ‘criminal damage and possession of a Part 1 Poison’.
In Hong Kong, it is unlawful to own Viagra with no doctor’s prescription. Offenders face a maximum penalty of two years in jail and a HK$100,000 (£10,000) tremendous.
He was said to have arrived on the airport emotionally unstable before attempting to buy a plane ticket on Monday.
Officials have declined to reveal his identity as his motive stays under investigation.
An Airport Authority spokesman said: ‘Airport Authority personnel and airport security immediately arrived on the scene, warned the person to stop further vandalism, and called the police. Officers then arrested him and are continuing their investigation.
‘The Airport Authority has dispatched staff to handle the situation and arranged backup smart check-in kiosks.
‘Passengers may additionally use other kiosks or check in manually at airline counters, and airport operations remain unaffected.’
Local media reported that the Brit arrived in Hong Kong in November, on a visa valid for six months.
It comes days after a Jet2 flight was forced to divert after a passenger made ‘racist remarks’ before stepping into a fight 30,000 ft within the air.
The flight, which was travelling from Antalya, Turkey, to Manchester, England was diverted to Belgium over the ‘appalling behaviour’ of two passengers.
Footage shows the punch-up within the aisle with onlookers screaming.
One passenger described it as one of the crucial ‘distressing experiences’ they’d ever had, with some claiming they might see blood and teeth on the ground.
