A 20-year-old Toronto man who bolted past security officers at Pearson International Airport and boarded a jet was being questioned last night by Peel police.
He was arrested aboard an Air Canada Jazz jet waiting to leave for Charlottetown, police said.
"It's unknown why this man did what he did," said Peel Const. Wayne Patterson.
Just after 9 a.m., a man suddenly bolted past security officers who were clearing ticketed passengers with boarding passes in Terminal One, police said.
"He ran right past them and went down an escalator and ran down a hallway and then onto a ramp and onto the plane," Patterson said.
Several security officers gave chase and he was arrested after being confronted by the jet's crew, police said.
Although police said earlier yesterday there were no drugs involved, and no indication the man carried a weapon or threatened anyone, Jonathan Simpson was later charged with threatening, assault and mischief.
What did this guy hope to accomplish? obviously if you just run past guards through a gate and onto a plane, they know where you are and are going to find you...How did he plan on hiding himself on the plane, I don't think he could just sit down, some other person would have already bought the seat and found him sitting there...and seriously if your gonna be a stowaway WHY GO TO CHARLOTTETOWN OF ALL PLACES!
