The partner of a drunk easyJet passenger said she told him "not to drink that whisky" before he attacked a stewardess mid-flight.
Colin Smith was warned by the stewardess to be careful after she spotted him standing up when the plane was due to land. The 51-year-old, who was travelling from Manchester Airport to Malta, gave the stewardess a "vacant" stare, reports the Manchester Evening News.
He then grabbed her by the neck with both hands, Manchester Crown Court heard. The woman managed to get away from Smith but the 51-year-old tried to hit her again.
