Passenger tasered on a plane over bag dispute in London

I hate reading this kind of news! I wonder how much of a treat he was they couldn't contain him without a teaser.
Sussex Police confirmed in a statement emailed to Mashable that a 37-year-old man from Belfast was tasered on a plane that was waiting to depart Gatwick Airport. He was arrested on suspicion of breach of the peace and obstructing/resisting a constable in the execution of duty before being taken into custody.

"Police officers were called to the easyJet flight shortly after 8 a.m. to reports of a passenger who was becoming increasingly abusive following a dispute over luggage," the statement says.

"A man has been arrested on suspicion of breach of the peace. The aircraft has been disembarked and police are taking statements from witnesses among the crew and passengers."
