A man entered a restricted area at an Arizona airport on Tuesday and activated an emergency slide on a plane, a report said.

Zackaria Mudasir, 39, allegedly walked into the secure area of Terminal 2 at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix at about 2:15 a.m., a local ABC affiliate reported.

He then somehow activated the emergency slide on one of the planes that was parked on a runway, according to the report.

It was not clear if any passengers were on the plane at the time.

Cops responded to the scene and arrested Mudasir, who gave them a false name, according to the report.

Mudasir allegedly admitted to  causing the raucous and was hit with criminal trespassing, criminal damage and refusing to provide a true and lawful name.
