An unruly British man was arrested after his flight from Bangkok to London Heathrow landed following a cowardly attack on a Thai Airways member of staff.

 

The 35 year old unnamed British man went berserk only minutes after the flight from the Thai capital took off on February 7 and proceeded to smash up the aircraft’s toilet.

 

A passenger managed to capture the disgraceful footage of the unhinged man assaulting a flight attendant who was trying to calm him down. The belligerent passenger was also seen attempting to exchange blows with other passengers and crew members who intervened. The motive behind his erratic behaviour remains unknown.

A female passenger, who opted to remain anonymous, recorded the unfolding chaos on her mobile phone from her seat. Her footage depicts the man striking a steward, causing him to collapse in the aisle.

 

“He was in the toilet and he started screaming and shouting. He started smashing the door and it came away from the hinges.

 

“An older guy, in the white t-shirt, tried to get him out. A fight broke out and he ended up smacking the flight attendant. I think he broke his nose.”

Pity they don't have an emergency escape hatch they can use to jettison such garbage mid flight. 

11+ hours to go with that guy still on the plane. Brilliant. (sedate him!) 

Before being allowed to board any commercial aircraft, all would be passengers should be required to submit a registered IQ identification card. No boarding for anyone with less than a 100 IQ. That will stop just about 95 percent of these type incidents.

I hope the UK makes an example of the bloke with some time.

The bloke probably was homesick of his Saturday night altercations........🥴

What does he say? I only hear beep, beep, beep.

The airlines might all go bankrupt!

As per the recent news items, the Brits seems to be surpassing the number of Chinese & Indian quality tourists.

Pattaya be very low on tourists then.

When I was a young man, it was very common for thugs and bullies to go out on a Friday night to drink a gallon of beer and  have punch up. I managed to avoid the fisticuffs most of the time, but was once a victim of such a gang in an awful incident where the thuggish gang waited outside a late night drinking club for me and my mates. Fortunately I ended up with only a few bruises and a few stitches. The scars are not easily visible, one under the chin and another in my eyebrow.

Agreed, Brits do now normally wear baseball caps, it is an American thing

When will they ever learn?

Why is it when we need a door to be blown off ......... 

These days the last place in the world you want to lose your cool, in on a commercial aircraft. In the US he would be locked up for years. Here, who knows? Likely depends on how much spare cash he has. Unless he is charged at the destination. It is likely the Brits do not fool around with idiots like this guy, and will lock him up. Good result.

Breath test before boarding and ban all alcohol on board. At least for pink people with red or blond hair.

Oh my. Does this get added to the Brit count since he already had left Thailand?

 

Current Brits 21, Russians 17.

I would bet on Ice and alcohol. Regardless, the London police will take good care of him and he will not be back.

Wrong place for wrong drugs.😂

Yeh riiiiiiight, so thousands upon thousands of travellers attack flight staff............🤣

#donkey and soon to be banned from flying as well. Stupid is as stupid does. 

Got to feel sorry for the flight attendant.

Few bad elements can quickly give a country a bad name, however Asean now seems to only publish incidents relating to foreigners in trouble, if it was to actually watch and report incidents happening among local residents on the thai news channels then they would cause a drastic drop in foreign visitors and likely come under pressure from the government. Best to cause divisions among the foreigners than to report the whole news

He's going to have to do time for this escapade, I suppose he'll be all apologetic when the drugs wear off but I doubt that will impress the judge, endangering a flight is a very serious offence and then there is the GBH offence as well.

You must mean 'not enough ganja', right? From a 2016 paper: "It is concluded that alcohol facilitates feelings of aggression whereas cannabis diminishes aggressive feelings in heavy alcohol and regular cannabis users, respectively."

The Brits are even more unhinged and belligerent than usual lately.  

 

This freak should be jailed for a long time, banned from Thailand forever...and from ever flying anywhere ever again. Moron.

Perhaps you should start your own thread, "This is my Life"...........🥴

That would be unfair and discriminatory to all the law-abiding British travelers. 😄
