Witnesses say the man, who was later removed from the aircraft, shouted bizarre claims about “the plane is going down," being “gang chased” and “radiated” by gay people and they were giving him cancer, all while wearing more than a 15 masks in an attempt to protect himself.
At one point, he even declared, “Trump is here.” Between his outbursts, the passenger reportedly played a round of Candy Crush before resuming his loud declarations.

US Marshals questioned passengers before the flight resumed and reached Newark.
