Plane passengers & crew forced to subdue drunk Russian yob threatening to ‘stab' & ‘kill' flyers
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) BRAVE plane passengers and panicked crew were forced to subdue a drunk yob threatening to "stab" and "kill" fellow flyers. The panicked staff on a flight to Moscow made an emergency intercom call for men on board to assist restraining the out-of-control passenger.

When the thug was forced out of the cubicle, he intimidatingly banged his fists on the loo door before screaming wild threats to other passengers. He is captured in footage bellowing: "Shut your f****** face! I'm Russian, I don't give a f***!" While the plane flew at 30,000ft on a six hour flight from Russian city Ulan-Ude, the crew were forced to announce: 'Attention - situation on board. read more news PARLIAMENT CHAOS Brawl in Ukraine parliament as anti-corruption bill passes after protests 'We have a disruptive drunk passenger." They even had to request several men to "come to the back to help the crew". There was an immediate response from at least five male passengers on the Boeing 737-800. And it took them all to wrestle the man into his seat and restrain him. The thug is heard shouting: 'Why are you showing off, you f***?! F***!' Someone responded: 'Grown men came over to calm you down.' Shocking moment Ryanair passenger sobs & hits door after being stopped from boarding as her 'hand luggage was too big' He replied: 'I don't want to embarrass myself, f***! You f****** piece of s***!' A male passenger slammed: 'You've already embarrassed yourself, don't worry.' He embarrassingly 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!' Then he terrifyingly threatened to wield a knife, shouting: "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 smashed his head during the commotion with blood pouring from his wound. Once restrained in a rear seat, he was bandaged by the crew. The plane continued to its destination and thankfully didn't need to make an emergency landing thanks to the brave male volunteer passengers. Towards the end of the flight, after he had sobered up, he made an apology to those on board for his foul-mouthed tirade and threats, according to reports. Despite this, he was met by police at Moscow's Domodedovo airport and immediately taken into custody. It comes after a passenger wearing a "too busy doing nothing" top was dragged off the jet after demanding an aisle seat. Meanwhile, a woman allegedly threatened to crash a plane in India during a row with cabin staff just days after the deadly Air India disaster. Footage showed the passenger yelling at passengers and crew on board the flight. Plus, a troublesome passenger was left bruised and shamed after starting a fight on a Frontier Airlines Flight. While two angry passengers clashed over a reclined seat while on a busy flight to Bali. 6 The moment passengers and crew restrain the thug Credit: East2West

Teen caged over Bonfire Night carnage where out-of-control mob rampaged through Scots city
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A TEENAGE yob has been caged for rioting during Guy Fawkes night chaos. The 17-year-old, who cannot be named, was sentenced to 18 months detention for mobbing and rioting in Sighthill, Edinburgh last November 5. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Police in protective gear and wielding shields on Guy Fawkes Night Credit: Dave Johnston 2 Cops standing in a line where around 100 young people clashed with riot police He previously pled guilty at Edinburgh sheriff court to the incident on Calder Road and a separate disorder offence that took place on Princes Street a month previously. The male youth was among a group of approximately 50 young people letting off fireworks between South St Andrews Street and Princes Street in a disturbance that lasted for an hour and 20 minutes. Fireworks were discharged towards members of the public, into the roadway and towards buildings. During the incident the youth distributed fireworks to others who were involved in the disorder. Members of the public were left cowering to protect themselves. When police attended, a firework was thrown which exploded directly beneath a police vehicle. On November 5, the youth was caught on CCTV cameras as a group carried out prolonged and extensive attacks on police officers in Calder Road and Sighthill Court, Edinburgh. Buses were forced to withdraw from the area and some local residents were too frightened to leave their homes. The incidents included fireworks being thrown in the direction of a nearby petrol station as the local community faced severe disruption. Neil Almond, interim Procurator Fiscal for Lothian and Borders, said: 'The behaviour of this individual as part of these groups can only be described as lawless, dangerous and reprehensible. Riot cops lockdown Edinburgh after large groups of youths launch fireworks at emergency services 'In the incident on November 5, 2024, significant damage was caused to property, running into thousands of pounds.' Chief Superintendent David Robertson, Divisional Commander for Edinburgh said: 'This individual was an active participant in the disorder and damage that took place during this time. "He was subsequently arrested as a result of thorough inquiries conducted by local officers and CID colleagues.' Two months ago, Jordan McMillan, 24, was found guilty of culpable and reckless conduct after providing fireworks - some of which were used as missiles - to fellow hellraisers during the Edinburgh riots.
