A drunken passenger has caused chaos on an international flight after calling the captain “rubbish” and trying to storm the cockpit.

The EasyJet flight was bound for Kos International Airport in Greece after leaving London Gatwick Airport on Tuesday afternoon.

There was some turbulence during the flight which led to the irate passenger – who was allegedly intoxicated on whisky – standing up and berating the captain, according to a report in The New York Post.

During the flight, the unidentified man got into a war of words with other passengers, which led to a brawl and the unruly traveller being detained.

An emergency landing was made at Munich International Airport an hour and 44 minutes after take-off, according to flight tracker FlightAware.

Passengers cheered as the man was handcuffed and removed by German police, the incident captured on video posted to TikTok.

During the mid-air episode, which happened at 30,000 feet, the passenger reportedly broke the onboard intercom and fought with the flight crew, according to The Sun.
