Woman who had 'two pints' removed from Ryanair flight after becoming 'verbally aggressive'

A mum had to be escorted off a Ryanair flight by police after passengers complained she was being too loud and 'verbally aggressive'.

Lyndsey Fitzsimmons became 'irate' after being approached about her behaviour on the flight from Lanzarote to Manchester Airport, Minshull Street Crown Court heard on Tuesday (July 26).

Police were called out by Ryanair staff less than 20 minutes before the flight was due to land, before six officers stormed the plane to arrest Fitzsimmons. The 39-year-old, who had been on a week away in the Canary Islands, claimed she had consumed two pints of lager and taken two 10mg tablets of diazepam for her anxiety before the flight - but did not drink any alcohol on the plane.
