Shocking second muscle-bound passenger hurls furnishings round Dublin Airport and kicks over gear in one-man wrecking spree after lacking his flight

A man was arrested at Dublin airport this morning after being filmed throwing furniture around the terminal in a rage having missed his flight.

Footage shared online showed a topless man with a face covering pacing around Terminal 1 and launching items back and forth as bemused passengers looked on.

Dublin airport later confirmed that a passenger had been arrested after causing ‘significant damage to our airport’, as many travelled to celebrate St, Patrick’s Day.

The unnamed individual was ‘quickly apprehended’ by Airport Police before being arrested by An Garda Síochána, they said in a statement.

He is scheduled to appear in court later today, Dublin Airport reported.

‘We hope the justice system deals with him appropriately and also that we never see him at Dublin Airport again.’

In another clip circling on social media, the man was seen trying to pull wires from built-in pieces of airport equipment around a section of Terminal 1 used for short-haul flights by budget airlines like Ryanair.

It was unclear which flight he had missed. 

He struggled to pull a large metal box out of position before throwing it to the floor.

At one point the man flexed his muscles and bounced in his stride as he noticed he was being filmed.

He was also seen throwing chairs and tables attached to a cafe near the gate, BelfastLive reports.

At one point he kicked over a Ryanair baggage weight checker. 

Airport furniture was later shown strewn across the terminal as the man was detained by airport police with his arms behind his back.

Gardai confirmed they had arrested a man in his 20s in connection with an incident of criminal damage at the airport.

‘Gardai arrested a man in connection with incidents of criminal damage in Terminal 1, Dublin Airport, this morning, Monday, 17 March 2025,’ they told the Irish Mirror.

‘The man, aged in his 20s, has been charged and is due to appear before Court 2 of the Criminal Courts of Justice Dublin, this morning.’

A hammer-wielding passenger was shown on film smashing up several airport display screens at Santiago International Airport in Chile last month.

Emmanuel Bony lost his temper after an airline staffer reportedly declined to provide him assistance to return to Haiti on February 21.

Bony, who had Chilean his residency revoked for the earlier attack, was using megaphone to communicate with the workers and was told to leave by security, according to news outlets. 

He returned 10 minutes later and violently chased the workers away.

Footage showed Bony using a hammer to shatter a row of screens behind and near the ticket counter.

He shouted as he paced around and walked past terrified passengers, who recorded the madness.

Eventually, Bony walked over to the airport’s glass sliding doors and shattered one.

Security and bystanders attempted to calm him as he walked over to a restaurant and broke a chest-high row of glass panels.

The following day, Bony was placed under arrest by the Investigations Police of Chile and agents seized a knife, matches and flammable liquid.
