A half-naked man caused a stir after he jumped on a plane that had just landed at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Tuesday afternoon.
Passengers of a Delta Air Lines flight from Miami caught the moment the man walked near the plane with his hands in the air after he had stripped off his clothes.
The man, who was later identified as Jhryin Jones, was down to his underwear when he sat down on the tarmac.

Atlanta police spokeswoman Stephanie Brown told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Jones scaled a fence at the airport and ran onto an active taxiway.

Brown said Jones also pounded on the windows of the aircraft.
Other video obtained by WSB-TV showed the man sprinting across a grassy area toward the aircraft.
While he was running, the man was seen carrying his pants in his arms.

Jones was charged with criminal trespassing, public indecency and obstruction of law enforcement officers.
It wasn’t immediately clear if Jones has a lawyer.
