The plane was flying above Leicester when a 'disruptive incident' erupted onboard involving a foul-mouthed passenger.
Stunned travellers were left fuming as the flight - carrying up to 188 passengers - was delayed by around four hours after the Boeing 737 was forced to return back to Leeds Airport.
Footage from onboard shows a 30-year-old man dressed in an orange T-shirt and jeans, smirking and taunting fellow passengers in the aisle.
He is then seen shouting: 'Put your phone down and fight one on one.'
One passenger had jumped out of their seat, while others could be heard trying to calm the situation, warning the man he'd get kicked off.
The yob responded by sticking out his tongue and pounding his chest before going on a foul-mouthed rant.
Another traveller tried to reason with fellow holidaymakers: 'Don't rise to it. Let him get chucked off.'
Moments later, cheers erupted as uniformed cops stormed the plane at Leeds Bradford.
Laughter and jeers rang out as passengers spotted officers boarding, with one saying: 'Look behind ya, lad! Look behind ya, big boy! You w****r!'
The troublemaker's cocky grin was wiped clean as he spotted police heading his way.
He briefly squared up to another man onboard before passengers began yelling: 'Arrest him now!'

The whole plane broke into applause as he was finally hauled off, with one person shouting: 'In a bit, lad!'
Footage from outside the aircraft shows him being spoken to by three officers on the tarmac, with one appearing to search him.
Cops confirmed to The Sun that the man was charged with entering an aircraft while drunk.
He was bailed to appear before Leeds magistrates on Monday, 8 September.
The passenger has also received a six-month flying ban, Jet2 confirmed.
The plane was forced to stay on the ground until it eventually took off again at around 11pm, more than four hours after its scheduled departure time.
A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson told The Sun: "A 30-year-old man from Doncaster has been charged with entering an aircraft while drunk.
"He has been bailed to appear before Leeds magistrates on Monday, 8 September."
A Jet2 spokesperson said: "We can confirm that a disruptive passenger has received a six-month flying ban with us, following their appalling behaviour which led to flight LS491 from Leeds Bradford to Alicante having to return to Leeds Bradford so that police could offload them.
"As a family friendly airline, we take a zero-tolerance approach to disruptive passenger behaviour."

She is understood to have left the country and is being sought by cops. Those close to Chris previously revealed his ordeal started last July when he attended the same event as the woman. A representative for Chris told The Sun: "This is an ongoing police investigation, and therefore we are unable to comment at this time. "Chris will not be commenting further.' According to Daily Mail, the 'violent' stalker's actions have included threatening to spread lies about Chris and his wife, Opera singer Camilla Kerslake to social services. A source told the publication: "One of the most terrifying things has been the suggestion that her lies could get their kids could be taken away - it's left them shaken to the core." The source also said: "This isn't just someone making empty threats. "According to other victims, this individual has allegedly set fires, made bomb threats, and has even threatened to blow up children at their schools. While a source previously told The Sun: 'It's been absolutely terrible for Chris and Camilla. Strictly star calls in cops and almost quit show after crazed female stalker made 'disgusting threats' 'He met this woman twice, very briefly, during work events and then she started telling all sorts of awful lies about him. 'He was never alone with her and they barely spoke so he's got no idea why she targeted him. 'The stuff she was coming up with was farcical. She then started calling companies Chris and Camilla were working with to tell them these made up lies. "She is intent on trying to ruin Chris and Camilla's life. Her other victims are said to have struggled professionally, financially, and mentally. 'Chris warned police the minute his children were put into danger. "This woman posted their address online and made really nasty threats against him and his family.' Those close to Chris - who is set to star in this year's Strictly - said the BBC are aware of the ongoing issues and are supporting him. A friend said: 'Chris almost turned down Strictly because of what this woman has been putting him and his family through. 'She's made some disgusting threats. It has been awful for them. 'Chris and Camilla have been told by the police they're not alone. This woman has form for what she's been doing to them and has done it to other people too. 'Chris and Camilla are just the latest victims in a string of lives she's tried to destroy. 'He only went ahead with Strictly for his son Wilding. 'He told his dad: 'I want mummy to laugh at your dancing'. So Chris bit the bullet and went for it. 'He was honest with the BBC from the start and they've been amazing. 'They are supporting him and are aware of everything that is going on.'

Brit, 22, hurt in Ibiza ‘balconing' fall as tourist left with head injury at hotel at centre of Kian Harratt brawl drama
Numerous Brits have lost their lives to falls in the same town this summer HORROR PLUNGE Brit, 22, hurt in Ibiza 'balconing' fall as tourist left with head injury at hotel at centre of Kian Harratt brawl drama A BRIT tourist, 22, has suffered serious chest and head injuries after plunging from the third floor of his hotel in the Ibiza party spot San Antonio. It is the latest in a string of freak accidents to hit the resort town this summer, which have left at least three Brits dead. 3 The Brit plummeted from the third floor of Marco Polo hotel in San Antonio Credit: Solarpix 3 The fall happened at the same hotel where EFL star Kian Harratt lobbed a chair at someone in a poolside brawl in June 3 Oldham Athletic striker Kian Harratt was filmed throwing a chair at the Marco Polo hotel The horror accident happened around 8pm yesterday at the Marco Polo hotel in San Antonio. This was the same hotel which hit headlines in June when it was the backdrop for a poolside brawl involving English footballer Kian Harratt. The plunge casualty, who has not been named, was taken to Can Misses Hospital, according to police. The Civil Guard has launched an investigation into the circumstances. A spokesman said today: "A 22-year-old British tourist was rushed to hospital after falling from the third floor of a hotel in San Antonio. "He was conscious when he was taken away." A video of a poolside brawl at the hotel went viral in June, and Oldham Athletic forward Kian Harratt was been identified launching a chair into a woman. Brit holidaymaker Kyle Crawford told The Sun Oldham Athletic forward Kian Harratt and three of his pals were "being horrible" to a group of women before the clash on June 21. And two videos captured the brawl, including one which appears to show the striker - wearing black shorts and with his distinctive goatee - lob chair at one of them. Harrat later spoke out online to say he felt "very apologetic" and "terrible" that he hit the woman. But he blamed other tourists for starting the brawl and alleges a man approached his friend first and went on to "punch him". The striker then claims a chair was thrown at him which prompted him to pick it up and threw it back. But sunseeker Kyle, who was also on holiday with a group of mates in Ibiza, Spain, contested the footballer's version of events. He told The Sun: "There was four lads, we didn't know who they were, being horrible to some women." A second source caught up in the brawl told us: "It was Kian Harratt. He was bothering these girls." Kyle said Harratt and his friends were "throwing little rugby balls" at the female tourists inside the pool, one of which being the woman that was struck by a chair later on. "They were just in the pool splashing them and throwing balls at them - being proper immature," he explained. Kyle said he and his mate stepped in to stand up for the women. More to follow...
