A passenger who sparked panic and left holidaymakers in tears after shouting "Allahu Akbar" and "boom" on a Birmingham-bound flight has been jailed.

Shehraz Sarwar, 38, caused alarm with his behaviour while on the Emirates Boeing 777 flight from Dubai.

Sarwar, of Saltley, was jailed for ten weeks at Birmingham Crown Court after admitting using threatening words and behaviour.

Birmingham Crown Court heard some of the 347 passengers burst into tears after becoming frightened by his shouting during a turbulence-hit landing on February 1.
