Police are attending a security alert at London's Heathrow Airport.
One passenger told Sky News armed police boarded a flight, believed to have been bound for Dubai, and took a man off in handcuffs.
Cameron McLean said: "Police just swarmed the guy and rushed him out.
"I think he was a white male. There was another one but I didn't see him."
He said the man was taken out in handcuffs then sniffer dogs were brought on board.
Sky's home affairs correspondent Mark White said what appears to be C019 armed response officers boarded the 8pm Emirates flight from London to Dubai at Heathrow.
"The Metropolitan Police are stressing at this stage that the airport does remain open but they are not giving any more details other than to say it's a incident that is ongoing."

so long as it isn't my brother in law p.ssed up and taking the p.ss out of security, kind of daft thing he would do. He is from australia.
Sounds like someone drunk made the wrong comment or a joke (which would be a pretty silly thing to do in the current climate) and someone has REPORTED him as they say on this forum.
According to the BBC he blew up a crisp bag and burst it, he was jumped on by all the other passengers...wtf is happening nowadays
i am increasingly thinking this could be my brother in law. blowing up and bursting a crisp packet and pretending to be a terrorist is right up his street.

Where was The Leopard when this happened?
He spends all day putting up threads giving us news of things we already know or don't give a fúck about anyway, and when something medium size-ish breaks he is nowhere to be seen.
Unbelievable.

Even if it was a bad joke these lads deserve a jail term
Police arrested three passengers aboard a Dubai-bound Emirates airliner at Heathrow airport on Friday on suspicion of making a bomb threat, police said.
Sky News television quoted police sources as saying initial searches had found no actual threat to the flight, indicating that the incident may have been an ill-judged prank.
The men, aged 58, 48 and 36, were taken into custody for making verbal threats against the crew before take off, the police said in a statement. "They have been arrested on suspicion of making a bomb threat," they added.
An airport spokesman said other flights at Britain's biggest airport were unaffected. Witnesses told Sky that armed police with sniffer dogs boarded flight EK004, which had been due to take off at 8 p.m., and swiftly arrested the men.
"A verbal threat was made to staff. Police were alerted and armed officers boarded the plane," the police statement said. "Police are searching the aircraft and all passengers have been removed from the plane."
Airports around the world have been on high alert since a failed bombing attempt on a Detroit-bound plane last month. Britain announced tighter security measures this week, with plans to use full body scanners at Heathrow within three weeks.
"There was no shouting or screaming ... They took them away quickly and brought on some dogs to have a sniff around," Cameron McLean, a passenger on the grounded Boeing 777, told Sky.
