Man Restrained on Ryanair Flight Due to Alcohol-Induced Disruption

Ryanair crew members had to take swift action on a flight when an "unruly" passenger started causing trouble.

Disruption on the Flight
According to eyewitness reports, the passenger shouted at the cabin crew who took away two bottles of alcohol from him and denied him further service. The disruptive behaviour escalated as the individual refused to take his seat for landing on the flight from Manchester to Rhodes, managing to break free from restraints which led the pilot to abandon the initial descent and make another attempt to land.

Police Intervention
Upon touchdown in Rhodes on April 3, police officers were called onto the aircraft to remove the man. Footage from the incident shows Ryanair staff and passengers circling the man, with shouts heard commanding him to "Sit down, now", followed by images of police escorting him along the aisle.

Eye-Witness Account
A 26 year old named Emily captured the event on video, detailing her perspective: "The flight was going completely fine until the cabin crew came up to me and my partner at the front of the plane and asked us if we were travelling together and if we could be separated because a little girl needed to come down to the front of plane with her dad because a man was being disruptive." She continues recounting the ordeal: "We were together so they asked someone else instead who moved and that's when I got made aware of this guy being really disruptive at the back of the plane. The crew had to get two spare seatbelts and tried pinning him down on the seat."
