BARCELONA—A commercial airplane flying from Morocco to Turkey made an emergency landing at Barcelona’s El Prat airport early on Wednesday after a reported medical event and 28 of the passengers fled across the tarmac, the Spanish government said.
Police initially detained 14 people, including a pregnant woman who officials claim pretended that her water had broken, prompting the emergency landing, the government said.
Two people were arrested later, the government added, one of whom was apprehended inside the airport and the other who was found outside.
A further 12 people have not yet been located.
Five of those detained were immediately put back on the plane, operated by Turkey’s Pegasus Airlines, while at least eight are to be deported to Morocco….
