Two arrested after plane diverted to Stansted Airport
Two men have been arrested after a plane was forced to make an emergency landing at Stansted Airport, police have said.
Officers boarded the plane and arrested the pair on suspicion of endangering an aircraft.
The Sri Lankan Airlines A330 Airbus, which was carrying 267 passengers and crew, was due to land at Heathrow Airport but was diverted to the Essex airport just after 7.30pm.
The remaining passengers are being looked after at a reception centre at Stansted and are due to be transferred to Heathrow this morning.
