In a shocking case, a 26-year-old man climbed over a Mumbai airport wall and walked up to a plane on the airport runway.

As per NDTV reports, a Mumbai Police official confirmed that the person has been identified as Kamran Shaikh who was mentally ill.

"The pilots of the SpiceJet plane showed presence of mind and immediately shut down the engines to avert any accident when they saw the man walking up to the plane that was standing on runway 27,” said the DGCA official in New Delhi.

Further giving more details over the incident, a police official stated that the person is of unsound mind and it was his dream to see an aircraft from close vicinity. However, nothing suspicious was found in the incident.

"The man had all the “documents” to show he was “mentally unsound”. Currently, no action will be initiated against him," police official added.
