THIS is the dramatic moment a drunk Jet2 passenger was dragged off a flight heading to Turkey in front of shocked holiday goers. Footage shows Lewis Howarth, 36, being hauled off the plane at Manchester Airport by cops after launching a foul-mouthed tirade at cabin crew.

The inebriated passenger had reportedly glugged half a bottle of whiskey and called one flight attendant a "d***head" when asked to fasten his seatbelt. Cops quickly swooped in and were escorted toward unruly Howarth, who was described as "highly intoxicated" and had been swearing at other shocked holidaymakers.

When officers tried to coax Howarth off the flight, he quickly became belligerent. "He started to resist and tried to fight or assault those escorting him," prosecutor Saul Brody said. "He was taken to the floor and handcuffed, and was described as thrashing his head towards the passengers and officers.

"He was restrained on the floor of the aisle, and once outside he continued shouting abuse towards the officers.". Passengers applauded as the disruptive Howarth was booted off the Jet2 flight. An officer told him: "You were bang out of order, there were so many kids on there.".
Howarth, from Bolton, then slurred back: "My kids are there… you are f****** wrong. "Nah f*** off you little rats. "Do you [really think] I'm not going to go on holiday?". When cops told Howarth he had been placed under arrest, the passenger responded: "No I'm not, you little rat, you f****** d***heads, rat b******s.".
