Passengers on a plane made a “citizen’s arrest” of a drunken man who tried to exit a flight mid-air, as the wild moment was captured and shared on TikTok.
A Ryanair flight between Great Britain and Lithuania was canceled at the weekend after a rowdy man started abusing others and allegedly injured a fellow passenger.
Several clips were recently shared on social media showing the dramatic moment a ‘violent’ and ‘aggressive’ drunken passenger was tackled by seven shocked onlookers.
The clips have now been deleted but showed a drunken man confronting cabin crew members and threatening others before passengers took matters into their own hands.
TikTok users said he tried to leave the flight mid-air, so they restrained him with a seat belt while he yelled, “I don’t care who you are” and “Don’t touch me. me!”
According to witnesses, the man drank a bottle of alcohol he bought at the airport’s duty-free shop before boarding.
TikTok viewers react to citizen’s arrest of drunken man
User please uploaded a video of the event Tick Tock, and the headline “Citizens Arrested Mid-Flight. London Luton – Vilnius 13/08/2022.” The viral video has been viewed almost a million times since it was shared, as thousands of viewers praised the passengers for helping to diffuse the situation.
“I’m glad some strong eyes are handling the situation. At the time I was rocking in the back of the plane, breathing into a bag,” one viewer commented.
“I would be so afraid!” I travel a lot from Luton, just me and the baby and I don’t like planes. It would add to my stress,” added someone else.
One cabin crew member commented: “You guys have had a rough time with him for a lot longer than this video, thanks to you and your colleagues.”
Speaking today, a Ryanair spokeswoman said: “The crew of this flight from Luton to Kaunas requested police assistance on arrival after a passenger disrupted the flight.
“The plane landed normally, and the police took this individual passenger away and arrested him in Kaunas. It is now a matter for the local police.
