A fellow passenger described his behaviour as “really intimidating”.
Another said he “turned the air blue” with his language.
They claimed: “He became aggressive with the air hostesses once it became clear he wouldn’t get given alcohol.
“At one point he left his seat and started walking up and down the aisle despite being told to sit down – he even ran behind the cabin crew curtains. It was crazy behaviour.”
