Praying TUI passenger tried to open door mid-flight but was tackled by holidaymakers

TUI holidaymakers were left scared for their lives after an "intoxicated passenger" was allegedly heard making threats, before trying to open the emergency exit mid- flight.

Staffing problems meant the flight from Paphos to Manchester had already been delayed for several hours, yet it was forced to divert to Zagreb in Croatia because of a 'disruptive passenger'.

Passengers recalled seeing the man openly taking a substance akin to cocaine and praying on the floor, before threats were made towards other holidaymakers and cabin staff, reports Manchester Evening News.
