Photos: See Gobe! Flight had to be diverted because of this drunk man

Blame it on the a...a.....a...a...a....alc....

A Ryanair flight to Dublin was diverted to Denmark after a ‘drunk’ man stripped semi-naked and had to be tackled by fellow passengers after he started throwing punches.

The flight was on its way to Ireland from Riga in Latvia on Tuesday night when the man removed his shirt and began flexing his muscles at the plane’s rear.

The plane was forced to make the unscheduled landing at Aarhus Airport in Tirstrup, Denmark and the man was arrested.

He was recorded causing a disturbance and was eventually ‘subdued and tied up’ by other passengers, the Copenhagen Post reported.

Peter Hallstrøm from East Jutland Police said: 'A plane was diverted because of a drunk person, so we had to arrest him.

‘He was uneasy on board the aircraft, and the staff could not handle him.’

He added the man was ‘outspoken and provocative’ on the flight but was not violent towards anyone.

Mr Hallstrøm added the man did not resist arrest and spent the night sobering up in a police cell. It is not known if he will face any charges.
