THIS is the shocking moment a passenger was arrested after allegedly smacking an air hostess in the face.

Video captures the moment a man was held down on a TUI flight traveling from the popular Spanish destination, Gran Canaria, to Birmingham early Tuesday morning.

The aggressive individual, whom fellow passengers described as intoxicated, was escorted off the plane in handcuffs after seemingly hitting a cabin crew member during a prolonged outburst lasting an hour, which left some flight attendants visibly upset.

Crew members tried to use a ‘restraint kit’ in an effort to manage the disruptive passenger, but even after the aircraft had touched down, they were unable to fully control him.

It forced terrified crew members to scream for help while 220 passengers, including young kids, watched on.

Dramatic clips obtained by The Sun shows the mayhem unfold as cabin crew frantically run through the aisles pleading for the emergency services.

A witness told The Sun: “It all kicked off just before 1am as we were landing in Birmingham from Las Palmas.

“When they slammed the brakes, he was shouting that the plane was going to crash. He started shouting at the hostesses and got up to go to the toilet compartment.

“The stewardess told him to sit back down, which he did, but then he got back up for the second time and went to the same place.

“There was a lot of screaming and shouting between him and the crew, and then he punched an air hostess in the nose.

“One minute he was calm, then he was throwing blows. He was extremely erratic.”

A number of passengers tried to intervene to help the air hostesses as the situation became violent.

The witness continued: “Air hostesses were screaming for police in panic – they were shook up and crying.

“People had to tell them to stop screaming because it was scaring the kids – it was a nightmare.”

Clapping and cheering rang through the plane after West Midlands Police officers finally got onboard.

A witness told The Sun: “The intoxicated guy put his hands up and said, ‘Arrest me’.

“But then he resisted arrest.”

The drunk male was forced down onto other passengers by cops who quickly surrounded and cuffed him after he resisted arrest. 

The drunken yob was finally led away from the aircraft in handcuffs and chucked in a police van before passengers were able to exit, an hour after the ordeal began.

We previously revealed how a British woman was dragged off a flight after allegedly assaulting passengers and “making a bomb threat”.

And last year a “flight from hell” did a U-turn after just 36 minutes in the air, when a “mass brawl” broke out between holidaymakers.

TUI and West Midlands Police were asked to comment.
