The captain of a Russian plane was forced to ask passengers to overpower a drunk and foul-mouthed flyer who threatened to ‘stab’ and ‘kill’ those on board.
The crew on a flight to Moscow were forced to make an emergency intercom call for strong men on board to assist in restraining the out-of-control passenger.
The drunk traveler had locked himself in a plane toilet to consume alcohol, but when he was forced out of the cubicle, he banged his fists on the toilet door and issued wild threats to other passengers.
‘Shut your f****** face! I’m Russian, I don’t give a f***!’, he yelled in front of horrified passengers.
As the plane flew at 30,000ft on a six hour flight from Russian city Ulan-Ude, the crew announced: ‘Attention – situation on board. We have a disruptive drunk passenger.
‘Requesting several men to come to the back [of the plane] to help the crew.’
There was an immediate response from at least five male passengers on the Boeing 737-800, and it took all of them to wrestle the man into his seat and restrain him.
The thug shouted: ‘Why are you showing off, you f***?! F***!’
In response, he was told: ‘Grown men came over to calm you down.’
During the shouting match, the drunk man said he did not want to embarrass himself while calling passengers insulting names.
A male passenger told him: ‘You’ve already embarrassed yourself, don’t worry.’
The man implied he had some influential ‘connections’ on the ground in Moscow who would revenge the passengers forcing him into a seat.
He ranted: ‘My guys will come for me, f***! My guys!’, before threatening to wield a knife.
‘B****, I’ll stab you! I’m a Russian guy, f***! Where the f***? ‘I don’t want to kill anyone, f***! What the f***?!,’ he could be heard screaming in dramatic footage.
He smashed his head during the commotion which left him with blood pouring from the wound.
Once restrained in a rear seat, he was bandaged by the crew.
The plane continued to its destination and did not make an emergency landing due to the bravery of the male volunteer passengers.
Towards the end of the flight, and after he had sobered up, he made an apology to those on board for his foul-mouthed tirade and threats, according to local reports.
Despite this, he was met by police at Moscow’s Domodedovo airport and immediately taken into custody.
It comes after two drunk friends were hauled off a plane by police after becoming ‘uncontrollable’ when they downed a duty-free bottle of vodka while awaiting take-off on July 24
The disruptive duo caused commotion on the flight at Leeds Bradford Airport which had been scheduled to land at Chania International Airport in Greece.
Following the confrontation, the airline confirmed the disruptors have now been banned from flying with them following the ‘appalling behaviour’.
