A man traveling from Iceland to England has been arrested for trying to board plane while wearing an excessive amount of clothes.

Ryan Carney Williams, who identifies as Ryan Hawaii, reportedly wanted to avoid the excess luggage fee and therefore wore eight pairs of pants and ten shirts.

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

The airline said Hawaii was acting rude so they turned him away, however he refused to leave the desk so they called a security guard over, Icelandic news site, Mbl said.  

Hawaii posted a video to his Twitter profile slamming the airline for 'racial profiling.'

He tweeted: '@British_Airways hi being held at Iceland Keflavik airport because I had no baggage put all the clothes on and they still won't let me on. Racial profiling? Or.....'

He posted two videos asking the employees why he wasn't allowed to board to which one of the airline staff said 'do we need to call the police?'

In a later tweet he says how he was arrested, sprayed with mace and held on the ground after refusing to leave.  

After he gave his statement to police he returned to the airport to get an EasyJet flight he had booked for the next day.

Hawaii says he got through check-in and security, but once he arrived at the flight gate, a man told him he wasn't allowed to board because of the incident the day before.
'And AGAIN! Refused from 2 flights in 2 days for no valid reason,' he tweeted.

Hawaii claims he was stuck at the Iceland airport with no money and without his belongings as his luggage successfully flown to England without him.  

Hawaii arrived back in England after boarding a Norwegian airline flight.

Apparently EasyJet and British Airways both refunded him after he complained to them.
