In the viral clip, the inebriated passenger is seen getting out of his seat and attempting to assault a police officer and a female flight attendant while fellow passengers and the flight crew try to restrain him.
As per a Sky News report, the shocking incident happened aboard the Edinburgh-Antalya Easyjet flight when the aircraft arrived at the at Antalya Airport at around 8.15 PM on Saturday.
The violent passenger was finally restrained and escorted off the aircraft, the report said.
It is unclear what infuriated the passenger, causing him to lash out, however, eyewitnesses stated that the man, apparently a die-hard soccer fan, was causing trouble throughout the journey but was apparently triggered when a boy called him a disgrace to the Celtic jersey.
“A boy told the guy that he was a disgrace to the [Celtic jersey], and that’s when he just lost it,” the eyewitness said, according to the report.
Others claimed that the man had been drinking throughout the journey, apparently to celebrate the Celtic’s victory Aberdeen. The scottish soccer team defeated Aberdeen on Saturday to enter the final of the Scottish Cup.
