Nov 17 2009

A British man has denied disrupting a transatlantic flight after he was hauled off a plane for refusing to move his injured arm.

John Alexander Murray, 50, of Lochalsh Crescent, Milton of Campsie, Glasgow, was arrested by police at Logan International Airport in Boston, Massachusetts, shortly after 11pm on Monday.

Prosecutors claim he blocked the plane's aisle with his arm, which is in a splint following a motorcycle accident.
