A video shared online shows a drunk passenger forcing an EasyJet flight to make an emergency landing in Munich.
Flight U28235, which departed from London Gatwick Airport en route to Kos International Airport in Greece Tuesday (September 3) afternoon, experienced turbulence, which apparently angered the intoxicated passenger, who reportedly called the captain “rubbish” and stood up to disrupt the flight, causing arguments with other passengers and a reported brawl.
The male passenger allegedly attempted to open an emergency exit during the flight.
A TikTok post showed other passengers applauding as the man was restrained during the emergency landing, which EasyJet confirmed was caused by a “passenger behaving disruptively onboard” in a statement.
The plane made an emergency landing at Munich International Airport about an hour and 44 minutes after taking off.

The disruptive passenger was handcuffed and removed from the flight by German police.
Other passengers taunted the man as he was being detained, which included another man angrily yelling “get off, you loser,” and several others chanting the lyrics of ‘Sound of da Police’ by rapper KRS-One.
The passenger reportedly broke the onboard intercom and fought with flight crew members during the mid-flight incident.
