A drunk man who attacked staff at Leeds Bradford Airport last year has been sentenced.
Robert Smith, 45, had managed to get through the gate for his flight at the airport on May 18, 2022 after denying being drunk. He was heading to Tenerife on a Jet2 flight at 4.20pm, and had already been spotted by staff knocking over a stool in the airport bar, West Yorkshire Police said.
But as Smith, of Lawns Green in New Farnley, headed along the walkway to board, he bumped into the glass panelling. He was stopped by staff, who told him he couldn't board the flight while drunk.
