Shocking footage from the Aeroflot flight SU734 shows the woman standing in the aisle and yelling at cabin crew in broken English.
She said: 'I want business class… I'm in pain in my butt, I'm in pain in my t*ts!'
She even grabs her own breasts while arguing her case, pleading: 'But I need a business class because I was working.'
When her rant fails to sway staff, the wild-eyed woman sinks to the floor screaming 'No, no, get out!' as a female voice calmly replies: 'You asked for it.'
Crew were helped by strong male passengers to overpower the woman after she allegedly threatened to open the emergency exit and began removing her top in desperation, according to Telegram channel Aviatorshchina.
'The woman tried to push forward, ran around the cabin, approached the emergency exit, and threatened to 'open' it,' the report said.
'It even got to 18+ content. To get to the coveted seats, the passenger began taking off her T-shirt, hoping at least that would work.'
Although the video didn't show her fully undressing, it captured her bizarre gestures and meltdown as stunned passengers watched on during the six-hour flight.
'The stewardesses first tried to manage on their own, but the brawler wouldn't give in,' the channel added.
'After she was restrained, the violator was moved to the back of the plane and handed over to the police upon arrival.'

Highway Code: Drivers risk £70 fine over yellow box mistake
The RAC has revealed that drivers were hit with hefty fines from yellow box junctions last year after councils were given new enforcement powers. It said the 'enormously high number' of penalty charge notices (PCNs) should 'send alarm bells ringing in council offices'. Drivers risk a £70 fine over yellow box mistake Yellow boxes are used in an attempt to ensure traffic flows smoothly through busy junctions. Motorists should not enter them unless their exit is clear or they are waiting to turn right. The RAC, which obtained the statistics through Freedom of Information (FoI) requests, revealed that drivers were fined nearly £1 million from just 36 yellow box junctions last year. London and Cardiff were the only parts of the UK where drivers could be fined for yellow box offences until the Government introduced new legislation in May 2022, which enables all councils across England to apply for enforcement powers. Data provided by English councils in response to FoI requests by the RAC showed 36 yellow boxes outside London and Cardiff were enforced last year. This led to a total of 32,748 PCNs issued, with drivers paying £998,640. PCNs are generally £70, reduced to £35 if paid within 21 days. Only a fraction of yellow box fines are appealed against by drivers, with the highest proportion appealed being 18% in the Manchester City Council area. RAC senior policy officer Rod Dennis said a yellow box, which generates a small number of fines, indicates it is 'working as it should', which must be the ambition for councils rather than using them as a 'revenue-raising opportunity'. He went on: 'Very few people set out to deliberately flout the rules and get fined. 'The large number of penalties being dished out over a small number of locations and in a short space of time should send alarm bells ringing in council offices. 'It's vital box junctions are used in the correct places and are only as big as absolutely necessary. 'They must be fairly set up so that drivers don't find themselves stranded through no fault of their own.' 7 Common Speed Camera Myths A spokesperson for the Local Government Association said: 'All councils follow guidance to ensure motorists are treated fairly. 'There are processes for appeal if anyone believes they have been unfairly fined.' Box junction rules explained A yellow box is painted on some roads with criss-cross lines in them, and sometimes it's fine to stop in them, but other times you should avoid them. As the TFL website explains, they are usually found at the junction of two or more roads and occasionally at roundabouts or outside fire and ambulance stations. A yellow box junction does not require any other signage. According to the government website, motorists must avoid entering the box until their exit road or lane is clear. However, you can enter the box and wait if you are turning right, and if the only reason you can't turn right yet is because of the oncoming traffic or other motorists also waiting to turn right. What does the Highway Code say about yellow box junctions? Box junctions are addressed in the road junctions section of the Highway Code. Drivers paid out £998,640 in box junction fines last year (Image: Getty Images) It reads: "Box junctions have criss-cross yellow lines painted on the road. "You MUST NOT enter the box until your exit road or lane is clear. "However, you may enter the box and wait when you want to turn right, and are only stopped from doing so by oncoming traffic, or by other vehicles waiting to turn right. "At signalled roundabouts, you MUST NOT enter the box unless you can cross over it completely without stopping." Recommended reading: If a box junction is not used correctly, you could end up with a fine, as cameras are in place at many box junctions. If you think you can prove that you didn't break the rules, you can appeal the fine. You can find out more about box junctions via the government and RAC websites.

Let Kneecap play
During the Troubles, some 2,500 people were victims of kneecappings – punishment shootings, dished out by paramilitaries, for perceived crimes ranging from fraternising with British soldiers to drug dealing and rape. The term is something of a misnomer. The torture entails a low-velocity gunshot to the knee from a handgun. That isn't guaranteed to destroy one's kneecaps but could cause tissue or nerve damage and joint fractures. At least 13 victims had to have their limbs amputated; one in five was once estimated to limp for the rest of their lives. Until recently, a mention of kneecapping was a reminder of the terror that plagued Northern Ireland within living memory. Yet this week, thousands will descend upon Glastonbury, at £373.50 a ticket, for a chance to see a band named after the practice – a group who have won global fame, chart success, government funding and police attention by draping themselves in the violence of Ulster's recent history. For the unfamiliar, Kneecap are a Belfast hip-hop trio. Rapping in English and Irish, their output mixes odes to drug use with Irish republicanism. One of the trio – a 35-year-old ex-teacher – writes 'Brits Out' on his behind and performs in a tricolour balaclava. The band has commissioned a mural depicting a police Land Rover burning from a petrol bomb, above the slogan 'RUC not welcome' in Gaelic. Of late, the self-described 'anti-Zionists' have been especially vocal about the Middle East, performing in California with 'Fuck Israel/Free Palestine' projected behind them. But the band's outspokenness has caught up with them. Last week, one member appeared in court for allegedly displaying a flag supporting Hezbollah – a proscribed terrorist organisation – and chanting 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah' during a recent performance. A resurfaced video from 2023 featured one of the trio exclaiming that 'The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP!' – seven years on from the murder of Jo Cox and two from that of Sir David Amess. Kneecap rushed out a statement 'clarifying' their positions. 'Let us be unequivocal,' the trio announced. 'We do not, and have never, supported Hamas or Hezbollah.' They would never 'seek to incite violence against any MP or individual'. Footage was being 'exploited and weaponised' by their opponents. Up to a point, Lord Copper. If the trio don't want to be accused of supporting terrorism or wanting politicians dead, they should be rather more careful about their language. None of this has stalled Kneecap's momentum. Their Glastonbury gig follows a Bafta-winning biopic last year. Yet beyond the nodding dogs of the music press, there will be many who find their work disgraceful, denials unconvincing and popularity disturbing. As business secretary, Kemi Badenoch blocked a £14,250 grant to the band, later overturned by the courts. Taxpayers' money, she argued, should not be given 'to people who oppose the United Kingdom itself'. She has condemned our national broadcaster for planning to show the group. 'As a publicly funded platform,' she warned, 'the BBC should not be rewarding extremism.' Kneecap came of age in a post-Troubles Northern Ireland. Whether they like it or not, the trio were raised in relative peace in the comfort and protection of the British state. They peddle the aesthetics of terror for the entertainment of the ignorant and nihilistic. Had they lived a little earlier, there is every chance the trio would have been kneecapped themselves, for crimes against good taste. Yet as objectionable as Kneecap are, trying to shut them up is wrong. Doing so provides them with what they want – the oxygen of publicity and the aura of danger. Just as the BBC's desperate efforts to keep the Sex Pistols off the radio during the Silver Jubilee only drove more people to buy their records, every attempt to block Kneecap has so far won them greater fame. If the establishment is so against them, punters might think, they must be doing something right. Letting Kneecap play is a sign of confidence. Their calls to 'Get Your Brits Out' are no more likely to unite Ireland than Johnny Rotten's warbling about a fascist regime was to topple the monarchy. For ageing middle-class Corbynistas with too much time and money on their hands, trekking through crowded Somerset fields to see the band play is a form of radical chic – as essential a fashion statement as draping a keffiyeh around their necks. Never mind that the Royal Ulster Constabulary was disbanded two decades ago. Too often, self-declared free speech defenders only stand up for those they perceive as being on their side. Even John Milton, in Areopagitica, was unwilling to concede freedom of expression to religious enemies. Some who seek to make a martyr out of Lucy Connolly – the mother imprisoned for telling her X followers to 'set fire' to hotels housing asylum seekers after the Southport attacks – are silent about the state's prosecution of Kneecap. Both have been accused of inciting violence; neither deserve to be behind bars. Let Kneecap play. Every Glastonbury goer with a little good taste can stick to Rod Stewart and the Kaiser Chiefs. In their own time, the band may yet be reconciled to the United Kingdom; stranger things have happened. Johnny Rotten, for instance, has declared himself a monarchist, backed Brexit and Donald Trump, and called for Jacob Rees-Mogg to be prime minister. Before they know it, Kneecap will be performing at a Tory conference.
