Really? Are the crew not being detained also? They can’t get off and it is not caused by them.
The Captain can’t just blame another department in the airline the real cause is not always obvious.
This passenger for reasons unknown has acted irrationally. Is the engine running ? Clearly they didn’t think through what they were going to do when they ran out of wing to walk along. Even if they jumped then what ?you are on the apron and are likely to be arrested. Where is the exit hatch? What delay will the subsequent passengers suffer? I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the next sector/s were cancelled.
There may well be a medical reason why this passenger acted the way they did.
