easyJet plane swarmed by police as it's forced to make an emergency landing in Munich

A routine easyJet flight to from the UK to Turkey was met by police in Germany, after it was forced to make an emergency landing.

The Airbus initially set off from Liverpool's John Lennon Airport just after 1pm this afternoon (April 19) - bound for Dalaman, Turkey - but after just two hours in flight, the aeroplane started circling Munich before making an emergency landing at 4.19pm CEST.

Reports say that the plane was met by a number of police officers on the tarmac, after two passengers began behaving 'disruptively. Eyewitnesses at the scene claim that two people were escorted off the plane by German police shortly afterwards.
