Unruly passenger pleads guilty to attacking flight attendant

An unruly passenger pleaded guilty to attacking a flight attendant on an easyJet flight from Manchester.

Colin Smith, 51 admitted he was drunk after downing nearly a full bottle of whiskey.

He stood up when in seatbelt on mode and when approached, he attacked a flight attendant unprovoked.

Smith lunged at her, grabbing her neck with both hands.

After being restrained, the unruly passenger continued lashing out.

In court he ‘expressed remorse’ for his behaviour.
