Half-naked man sprints toward Delta Air Lines plane at Atlanta airport after he jumped out of his plane and climbed onto the wing of another (video)
Passengers of a Delta Air Lines flight from Miami captured the moment the man, who was later identified as Jhryin Jones, walked near the plane with his hands in the air after he had stripped off his clothes, leaving only his underwear on. At some point, he lowered himself to the tarmac and sat there.
Atlanta police spokeswoman Stephanie Brown told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Jones scaled a fence at the airport and ran onto an active taxiway.

Brown said Jones also pounded on the windows of the aircraft.
Jones was immediately arrested and charged with criminal trespassing, public indecency, and obstruction of law enforcement officers.
The airport, which is the busiest in the world, tweeted Jones' actions had no impact on operations.
