A flight from Manchester to Ibiza was forced to divert because a Brit downed vodka, spat at passengers and hit crew members.
The incident meant the flight was diverted to Toulouse, France, after the man and his partner were dragged off the plane at 5.30pm on Sunday.
A witness who saw it all happen said the man had been ‘swigging duty free vodka’ for about an hour.
He then started arguing with a male cabin crew member before he flat out punched him in the face.
This then caused absolute chaos as other eyewitnesses described the man as being ‘out of control’.
It didn’t stop there as the man then decided to assault another passenger and then spit at a woman.
Passengers on the flight were forced to endure his behaviour for an entire 40 minutes.
They were also stuck on the tarmac at Toulouse Airport for an hour and a half as police and cabin crew worked to make sure the flight was safe once again.
The Brit was kicked off the Ryanair flight when it was diverted to Toulouse
Passengers were forced to endure the unruly behaviour
When he was told that the flight might have to be diverted due to his behaviour, he said ‘I don’t give a f***’.
Once he was kicked off the plane his partner who had been sat 10 rows back from him started harassing another passenger.
She was then restrained and taken off the flight completely barefoot.
A woman was also eventually arrested
A Ryanair spokesperson said: ‘This flight from Manchester to Ibiza diverted to Toulouse after a small group of passengers became disruptive inflight.
‘The crew called ahead for police assistance, who met the aircraft upon landing at Toulouse and offloaded two passengers before this flight continued to Ibiza.
‘We sincerely apologise to passengers for any inconvenience caused as a result of these unruly passengers’ behaviour, which was beyond Ryanair’s control.
‘This is now a matter for local police.’
Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary recently said passengers should be restricted to just two drinks at airports to prevent scenes like this from happening.
