A man has been dragged off a plane at Manchester Airport by armed police after being caught smoking in the toilet. The incident happened on the Ryanair flight RK3442 from Palma to Manchester on Tuesday, May 30.
Footage taken by a passenger onboard shows cops entering the plane before taking the man who was dressed in a grey t-shirt, shorts, a baseball cap and flip flops to a waiting squad car. Crews then informed passengers that they were free to leave the aircraft.
A dad who was on the flight told Manchester Evening News: "It was literally about 20 minutes after take-off. One of the flight attendants could smell smoke coming from the toilet.
