A man who apparently has mental problems jumped out of an emergency exit on a Sunwing plane as it was taxiing to its gate at Toronto Pearson Airport this morning

Constable Erin Cooper said police received a call just after 12 a.m. Monday morning, saying that a 32-year-old Toronto man had made an “early exit” out of a Sunwing plane that had just arrived at Pearson International Airport from Varadero, Cuba

The man wasn’t injured in the incident, she said, and officers arrested the man, who is believed to have mental health issues

Ian Sansom, a passenger on the flight, said the trip was uneventful until the aircraft landed in Toronto. The plane was still moving and just minutes from the gate, he said, when “some woman in the back yelled ‘the door’s open, someone just jumped out

He said the shouting was followed by a few minutes of frenzied activity, with flight attendants running back and forth trying to determine what had happened and notify the captain. “The flight attendants were yelling, ‘What? what? what?’ and the woman saying. ‘The door’s open, the door’s open’

The door that the passenger jumped out of was an over-the-wing exit on the right-hand side of the aircraft, he said.
