An Irish man who missed his flight at Dublin Airport was arrested Thursday for running after the plane on the tarmac in a bid to flag it down.

Witnesses said a man in his 20s broke through an airport door and ran toward the Ryanair plane, which was about to take off for Amsterdam, at around 7 a.m (local time).

Declan Harvey, who was at the airport, said he could hear a man shouting "Wait!" at the plane before he was tackled to the ground by airport workers.

The airport said that a man became "agitated" after he and a woman arrived at the gate too late for their flight.

It said the man "broke through a door and made his way onto the apron, trying to flag the aircraft down."
