VIDEO: Man faces arrest for wearing too many clothes
REYKJAVIK – A British man was recently arrested for wearing too many clothes to avoid excess luggage fee at Keflavik airport, Iceland.

The man identified as Ryan Hawaii was wearing eight pairs of trousers and ten shirts, according to Iceland Monitor.

Hawaii claimed that he was denied a boarding pass at the British Airways desk for his flight after he put on all the clothes that are wouldn’t fit in his checked luggage.

After being stopped by security staff while trying to board the Brtish Airways plane, the dispute escalated into a row which he filmed and posted on Twitter.

Hawaii was reportedly then prevented from boarding an EasyJet flight the following day after the second airline heard about the previous day's drama.

Shortly after the initial confrontation police were called and had to pepper spray him and wrestle him to the ground, according to local media reports - something which British Airways dispute.

Hawaii eventually made it back to the UK via Norwegian Airlines and says he is being refunded by both BA and easyJet for the flights he missed.

The man believes “his treatment was due to racial prejudice because he had dreadlocks, wore flashy clothes and nail polish.”
