Man waving Toblerone tried to ‘hijack’ plane

A passenger on board a Hong Kong-bound Cathay Pacific flight, armed only with a Toblerone chocolate bar, demanded the plane fly to Sochi so he could watch the Winter Olympics, a court heard.

Antti Oskari Manselius, 23, from Finland, also made a false bomb threat on the February 14 flight from Amsterdam and said he was robbing the plane, the South China Morning Post reported.

Manselius pleaded not guilty to disorderly conduct and giving false information about a bomb when he appeared in court this week, the Post said. He said he was trying to entertain the other passengers and was making “fun and jokes”.
