The burly, bald passenger also urinated up the side of the terminal building and also received a slap across the face from his female companion
A drunken passenger was tasered by police after stripping naked on the airport tarmac – and challenging the pilot to a fight.
The 52-year-old man, who had arrived in Manchester on an easyJet flight from Malta, also urinated up the side of the Terminal One building.
Video taken of the amazing incident shows the burly, bald man removing his clothes on the runway apron and posturing at the captain – before receiving a slap across the face from his female companion.
It is understood trouble began mid-flight when the man, who appeared drunk, became abusive and started swearing at fellow passengers.
A witness who asked not to be named said: “He’d had an altercation with other passengers and the captain had come down the plane to calm him down.”
But on landing at Manchester at 1.28pm, the passenger’s bizarre behaviour continued.
It is understood that after coming off the plane, down the steps and on to the tarmac, he stripped to his black underpants and gestured towards the pilot.

Video obtained by Manchester Evening News shows him then stripping completely naked before getting a slap across the face from a woman.
The witness added: “He must have been drunk because when he came off the plane, he took his top off and shouted ‘come on then’ in a Manchester accent and was trying to get the captain to fight him.
“Then he carried on taking all his clothes off. I have no idea why. The woman he was with gave him a slap for it.”
The man put his clothes back on before entering Terminal One, where police arrived at 1.40pm.
They tried to control him but resorted to using a ‘dry’ Taser – where the gun is held against the target to cause shock and pain – when he refused to co-operate.
He was then arrested and escorted from the airport.
Abusive: The drunk naked passenger captured on video A spokesman added: “Police were called to Terminal One arrivals of Manchester Airport following reports a man was drunk and being abusive to passengers on a flight from Malta.
“As he left the plane, he took his clothes off and urinated against a wall.
“A 52-year-old man was dry tasered and arrested on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly in a public place. He was issued with a Fixed Penalty Notice.”
An easyJet spokesman said: “The passenger had arrived into Manchester on flight EZY1328 from Malta.
“The safety and security of its passengers and crew is easyJet’s highest priority and, like all airlines, disruptive behaviour is taken seriously.
"The passenger was met by the police as a result of his behaviour.”
