TORONTO - A man flying into Toronto shocked his fellow passengers when he
jumped from a moving plane at Pearson International airport early Monday.

The 32-year-old Toronto man was on a Sunwing flight returning from Cuba when
the incident took place just after midnight.

The plane landed safely and was taxiing towards its gate when the man opened
an emergency exit and jumped, said Peel Regional Police, who were called to
the scene.

"The door opened and somebody on the plane had to yell out that this
gentleman had opened the door," said Const. Fiona Thivierge.

"Luckily, he was not injured."

Ground crews who were around the plane at the time held the man until police
arrived, said Thivierge.

It was discovered the man had mental health issues and he was taken to a
local hospital.

No charges have been laid.

"There's no criminality involved, it all comes under the Mental Health Act,"
said Thivierge, adding that this was the first such incident of its kind to
her knowledge.
