Spanish police stormed a Ryanair flight after drunken members of a British stag do caused chaos on board. The cops waited on the tarmac for the flight to land before going on board and dragging off the disruptive group.

The two men, who were on a flight from Leeds Bradford airport to Alicante, became rowdy while in the air. Their behaviour reportedly unnverved the other passengers and the cabin crew were forced to call for back-up. The plane touched down in Alicante at around 7.30pm last Thursday (September 4) and the Guardia Civil stormed onboard to remove the troublemakers.

As reported by GB News, one passenger said it was "carnage" on board the flight. The pair of Brits were reportedly drunk from the moment they boarded the plane in Leeds.

The situation then got worse as the two-and-a-half hour journey went on. Footage shows one of the officers wrestling one of the men while other passengers shouted "get off the f***ing plane".

The passenger added: "They were getting rowdy and lairy towards the end of the flight, and the crew called ahead for police back-up. Everyone was fed up with them by the end."

A Ryanair spokesperson said: "Ryanair has a strict zero tolerance policy towards passenger misconduct and will continue to take decisive action to combat unruly passenger behaviour, ensuring that all passengers and crew travel in a respectful and stress-free environment, without unnecessary disruption. This is a matter for local police."

The incident came just days before a man allegedly tried to open an emergency door during a Ryanair flight. The plane, which was travelling from Bournemouth to Girona in Spain, was forced into an emergency landing in Toulouse, France.

A witness claimed: "The whole event was very traumatic. The man had gone into the toilet and then afterwards was trying opening one of the emergency exit doors. He then went to try the other shouting 'I want to go.'

"That's when a huge brawl started with a lot more than one man trying to get him away from the doors.

"There was a big punch up and he then finally got taken down in the aisle and was pinned to the floor where they then managed to get a seatbelt extender round his ankles to stop him kicking."
