Passenger strips naked at U.S. airport

A passenger stripped naked while on a Spirit Airlines flight getting ready to leave Las Vegas for Oakland on Saturday morning.

As the flight was boarding at the McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas, the passenger, whose name was not disclosed, removed his clothes and attempted to approach a flight attendant. McCarran public information officer Chris Jones said Metro officers responded to the flight gate after receiving a report of the nude passenger around 11:30 a.m. before the flight left the runway. 

The flight was supposed to depart around 11:28 a.m. and was delayed until noon. It arrived about 20 minutes behind schedule.

The passenger is now receiving medical treatment in reference to a medical episode, according to Lt. Carlos Hank, LVMPD.
