Ryanair passengers 'distraught' after fight breaks out on flight
Passengers were "distraught" after fights broke out on a flight, forcing the plane to divert.
The ECHO previously reported how a number of passengers were hauled off a Ryanair flight after a "drunken" man reportedly "urinated" on a seat. The flight, from Manchester to Tenerife, was forced to divert to the Portuguese island of Porto Santo, on Sunday evening (September 18).
The man and a small number of other passengers were removed from the plane after becoming "disruptive". One passenger, who wished to remain anonymous, previously told the ECHO the man looked "rotten" drunk and was repeatedly told to sit down by cabin crew before the pilot chose to divert the flight.
