The passenger, a 23-year-old named Peter Scattini, shot the video while aboard the 6 a.m. flight bound for Newark Liberty International Airport.

Here's video by another passenger:

Spirit Airlines told HuffPost that “a stowaway bat” was on the flight from Charlotte to Newark and that it was “removed once on the ground by animal control officers.”

“The aircraft was disinfected and searched as a precaution,” a representative from Spirit said in a statement. “It is believed the bat started its journey in Charlotte, flying into an overhead bin while our crews were doing overnight maintenance.”

There were no reported injuries.
