Naked drunk man causes runway chaos

A STARK naked and intoxicated man forced the closure of a runway in India on the weekend after jumping a fence and wandering onto a taxiway. Delhi's airport security noticed the stark naked man on a taxiway nearby the runway, closing it until he could be detained. It appeared the man had climbed over a three metre high wall to enter the airport area. The height of the wall had been reduced due to drainage works, making it more easily accessible. The incident forced an incoming Kingfisher A320-200 to circle the runway before landing a few minutes later. The plane had been flying from Hyderabad to Delhi, India. An investigation has been launched into the incident.
