A man on board a Ryanair flight was arrested after he allegedly claimed he had bombs, threw lit cigarettes around the cabin and assaulted a fellow passenger.
The drama was only halted when a group of men tackled the passenger from hell and restrained him until the plane landed at East Midlands Airport on Wednesday.
The flight was returning from Malaga. Once grounded the man was met by Leicestershire Police and charged with common assault, being drunk while on an aircraft and smoking on an aircraft, and is due to appear in court in November.
