Stag Party Refused Booze Mid-Flight, Becomes So Aggressive Plane Has To Divert

A pilot was forced to land his plane in Berlin after a British stag party caused problems on board after being refused alcohol.

Newspaper reports in Germany said the Ryanair flight from London to Bratislava in Slovakia was forced to land in the German capital to eject the bachelor party, The Press Association reports.

Six members of the group were said to have become unruly during the flight, forcing the pilot to make an unscheduled stop in Berlin and remove them from the flight.

German newspaper Bild said the men became aggressive when they were refused alcohol. German media reported one of them undressed and refused to obey the crew's instructions.

Local police said the drunken Britons, aged 25 to 28 and from Southampton, were met by officers upon landing at Schönefeld airport.

"The aircraft landed normally and police removed and detained these individuals at Berlin Schönefeld Airport.

"We will not tolerate unruly or disruptive behaviour at any time and the safety and comfort of our customers, crew and aircraft is our number one priority. This is now a matter for local police."
