Furious man removed from Dublin Airport flight attempts to get back on plane

A video of a man being removed from a Dublin Airport flight and threatening staff has gone viral.

The flight was Amsterdam bound and was delayed for over two hours.

Security were called onto the flight last Friday morning.

A passenger on the flight said that an argument erupted on the aircraft before security were called and one man was removed.

A video of the incident has been viewed hundreds of thousands of times on social media since it was uploaded.

The furious man can be heard asking "am I going to get a refund for my flight?" multiple times before being removed.

A later clip shows the same man run up the steps onto the plane while shouting "I'll smash your head in".

Staff are seen attempting to restrain the young man who appears to be launching himself towards a group onboard the aircraft.

Other passengers onboard could be heard laughing while the unusual incident unfolds.

The flight did eventually get off the ground and arrived in Amsterdam a few hours behind schedule.

The Irish Mirror contacted both Dublin Airport and the airline but both refused to comment.
