MP Eric Joyce has been arrested over a supposed fight with Edinburgh Airport officials on Sunday.
The independent politician is said to be facing charges for confronting airport staff when he tried to retrieve his mobile phone that had been left on a flight, according to The Independent.
Joyce was arrested in February when a fight broke out in the House of Commons bar, although he was released without charges.
A spokesperson told the national newspaper: “We can confirm an incident did occur on Sunday evening and an individual was arrested for being abusive and confrontational towards airport staff and police.”
