Hoax caller, 61, who told police he had planted bombs at Heathrow and Birmingham airports is jailed
A man who called police and lied to them about planting bombs at major hubs such as Heathrow and Birmingham airports has been jailed. Paul Fisher, 61, from Oadyby, made false threats to numerous forces claiming he had planted bombs at several locations. Three calls made to the Metropolitan Police stating bombs had been planted at Heathrow Airport, St Pancras railway station and Scotland Yard. West Midlands Police were also called by the man, stating there was a bomb at Birmingham Airport and a fourth was made to Leicestershire Police claiming there was a bomb at a hotel in London. Two calls were made to Lincolnshire Police stating he intended to blow up pubs in Boston and Lincoln and another was made to Humberside Police station in Hull. He pleaded guilty to eight counts of a bomb hoax – communicating false information - when he appeared at Leicester Magistrates' Court. He also pleaded guilty to three counts of causing wasteful employment of police – concerning calls made to the Met. In addition, the crook admitted to one count of threatening to destroy or damage property which involved a call made to Leicestershire Police and Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service in April. He was sentenced today to five years and two months' imprisonment. Detective Constable Kevin Sharke said: 'When calls of this nature are made, police rightly treat them as a legitimate concern until it can be determined there's no credible threat or risk of life to the public. 'The impact hoax calls can have on the emergency services, businesses and the public are vast. Such mindless actions interrupt our infrastructure and end up costing significant amounts of money. 'I'm pleased Fisher now has to face the consequences of his actions and hope today's outcome serves as a serious deterrent to anyone who thinks his behaviour was in any way acceptable.'

Moment plane passenger bundled screaming onto airport bus after punching stewardess & ‘refusing to turn off her phone'
THIS is the shocking moment a furious airline passenger punched a flight attendant after being told to "turn off her phone". The aggressive outburst resulted in the woman being hauled off onto an airport bus by a group of staff. 5 5 5 The chaos erupted on Sunday on a domestic flight from the city of Lagos, Nigeria, to the town of Uyo, around 400 miles away. A woman was asked by Ibom Air cabin crew to turn off her phone as the plane was heading towards the runway. But she is said to have ignored the request, refusing and insisting she would switch her phone to flight mode instead. When things became more heated, the pilot turned the aircraft back to the terminal at Lagos's Murtala Muhammed International Airport. The woman was forced to get out of her seat and brought to the front of the plane, where she hit a flight attendant standing in the doorway. In the shocking video, the staff member can be heard saying: "She is hitting me. She is f***ing hitting me." The attendant raises her hands to protect her face from further blows. The incensed passenger shouts: "What did you do?" The passenger is then seen putting on her jacket and being removed from the plane with her luggage. Once outside, security staff were forced to restrain her. Moment drunk Brit pensioner, 66, is left with broken arm after getting into fight with Thai bar girl & being thrown to ground At one point, the passenger even swings a small leather handbag at staff. The woman shout and swears at airport officials before attempting to attack one. Staff had to lift her onto the airport bus, where she continued to struggle. Ibom Air has imposed a lifetime ban on the passenger, according to local outlet Business Day. A statement by the airline read: 'Ibom Air reiterates its zero-tolerance policy towards any form of unruly or violent conduct that threatens the safety of passengers, crew, or equipment. "Such behaviour will be met with the strongest possible response, including legal action and permanent restriction from our services." It added that it "commended the bravery and professionalism" of its crew and the support of airport staff and the Nigerian Police. Speaking about the incident, Michael Achimugu, Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection at the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA), reminded passengers that they should respect instructions by cabin crew. He said: "When cabin crew ask you to turn off your phone before take-off or landing, simply comply. "I can't understand why simple routine issues would lead to incidents like this. "Passengers need to understand they have responsibilities, not just rights." It comes after a brawl recently erupted onboard a flight when some passengers reportedly refused to keep quiet after the lights were dimmed. Shocking footage from an AirAsia flight from Kuala Lumpur to China shows several people wrestling in the middle of the aisle. Tensions flared when a man seated behind a row of three young women became furious when they kept 'talking loudly'. He then shouted: "'Shut up... are you stupid? I want to sleep." Footage shows a woman in a green outfit and baseball cap leaning across the seat while repeatedly throwing punches at the man, who cowered beneath the food tray. Desperate AirAsia cabin crew in the company's distinctive red dresses can be seen wrestling with those involved in the fight. 5 5
