NextImg:Airline passenger smoking in bathroom shamed on PA system, hauled off plane by cops: video

What a kick in the butt!

A Ryanair passenger was captured on video being hauled off a plane by UK cops after he was shamed by the crew over a public-address system for smoking in the bathroom.

The man apparently began smoking only 20 minutes after the flight took off from Palma de Mallorca to head to Manchester Airport on Tuesday, the Manchester Evening News reported.

“One of the flight attendants could smell smoke coming from the toilet. They took all his details and then announced it to the whole plane,” a passenger told the news outlet.

“I was really pleased because they’d named and shamed the person. If you’re willing to have a smoke and put 180 souls on board lives at risk, then you should be named and shamed,” the man continued.

He said he and his two daughters were among the many unpleased families on the flight.

“There were a few people not happy on that plane, I’ll tell you,” he told the Manchester Evening News.

Local police boarded the plane upon landing at Manchester Airport.

“I was with my two daughters who are seven and ten,” he continued. “They were pretty frightened.”

Footage shows the man, clad in a T-shirt, shorts, a baseball cap and flip-flops, being ushered off the plane and onto the tarmac upon landing.

“The crew of this flight from Palma to Manchester called ahead for police assistance after a passenger was found smoking onboard,” a Ryanair rep told the outlet.
