A "member of the military" allegedly made a false bomb threat on board a Hawaiian Airlines flight that was preparing to take off from San Diego, police say.

A Hawaiian Airlines flight was evacuated after a U.S Navy servicemember on board made bomb threats, moments before it was set to take off from San Diego International Airport, officials say.

New video shows the tense moments as law enforcement in tactical gear boarded the plane and removed two men from the plane, one in handcuffs.
