Passenger on Ryanair flight from Dublin Airport to Portugal thrown off plane by police for being 'verbally abusive'

A passenger on a flight from Dublin Airport to Faro was thrown off the plane for allegedly being verbally abusive during the flight.

The man was escorted off the flight by police in Portugal after he allegedly abused other passengers on a Ryanair flight earlier this month.

In a video posted on Twitter, the man is repeatedly told to get his bag, Dublin Live reports.

He is eventually pushed off the aircraft by the Portuguese officer.

Ryanair confirmed the incident happened on May 2 and said the matter is now with local police.
