Woman stripped to her underwear and twice tried to storm plane cockpit during Jet2 flight

A woman stripped to her underwear and twice tried to storm a plane cockpit on a flight from a holiday hotspot back to the UK. But a dad-of-three stepped in to restrain the passenger, who reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" as she ran through the plane's cabin.

Phillip O'Brien, 35, got hold of the woman and helped crew members secure her in a chair on the Jet2 flight from Cyprus to Manchester. She has reportedly claimed there were explosives on board.

She even asked the children she was with if they were "ready to die", reports the Mirror. It is claimed the woman, in her 30s, said her parents were members of terror group Isis before the pilot diverted to Paris and she was led away.
