There was bizarre drama on a plane bound for the UK after a British passenger started hammering on the cockpit door.
The flight from Turkey to Manchester was forced to make an emergency landing in Greece as crew members and helpful passengers fought to restrain the man.
He was shouting and was said to have been "hammering" on the door of the cockpit, to the alarm of the pilot and co-pilot on the Jet2 flight from Dalaman to Manchester, M.E.N reports.
The airline said the plane was forced to 'activate an emergency situation' just one hour into its journey on Wednesday night.
State broadcaster ERT TV reports the plane was given permission to land at the Ioannis Kapodistrias Airport on the island of Corfu shortly after 8pm.

Airports in Greece are currently closed to flights from Turkey due to the coronavirus pandemic.
ERT TV say the passenger, who was reported as British, was eventually brought under control by crew and some of the 220 passengers.
It is thought that the disruptive passenger was the only person allowed to disembark the plane before he was then arrested by Greek Police.
He is thought to have taken a test for Covid-19 and will have to stay in isolation until the results are returned.

The aircraft was able to continue with the rest of its flight with a delay of 90 minutes.
A spokesperson for Jet2 said: "Flight LS922 from Dalaman to Manchester was diverted to Corfu on Wednesday, to offload a disruptive passenger.
"We would like to thank our highly-trained crew for their handling of the situation, and we would also like to apologise to customers for any inconvenience or upset that this caused.
"As a family-friendly airline, we take a zero tolerance approach to disruptive behaviour."
Yesterday, the Mirror reported on an incident onboard a Ryanair plane as a man was removed after receiving a text telling him he had coronavirus.
And earlier this month we reported how a passenger on board a flight from Kiev to Dublin was rushed to hospital after suffering coronavirus symptoms mid-flight.
While at the beginning of the month a British holidaymaker tested positive for coronavirus at a TUI hotel in Corfu in Greece having been tested at the airport when they landed as part of the country's random health screening.
