The plane made an emergency landing in Portugal where the cops removed the aggressive passengers

The man was arrested for "the crimes of disobedience, resisting arrest and coercion against a civil servant" according to the Portuguese police and is due to appear in court soon.

A man on the flight spoke to The Sun and said a group of seven people were behind the horror scenes on the Ryanair flight.

Onlooker James recalled three men and four girls in the group after first noticing them causing chaos in the line waiting to board the flight.

James said: “They were swearing and being rude, rude to other passengers."

After getting on the plane the group of troublemakers were sat at the back and kept on causing issues and being loud and obnoxious.

A second onlooker told MailOnline: "When it started to get a bit out of hand one of the stewards tried to intercede and ended up somehow getting knocked over.

"At this point the captain gave a warning over the speaker that unacceptable behaviour would not be tolerated and if it did not stop we would divert to Portugal."

According to James, one of the men in the group pushed the steward into the toilet at the rear of the plane - leaving the bathroom out of order because of the damage.
