Drunken lout's threat to 'chin' cabin crew

MAN JAILED AND MOTHER HANDED SUSPENDED SENTENCE FOR DRUNKEN FLIGHT DISTURBANCE

- PAUL BRITTON

A DRUNKEN passenger on board a packed flight to Manchester Airport from Turkey threatened to 'chin' a member of the plane's cabin crew who took a drink from him.

Then after the plane landed and was taxiing to a gate, Benjamin Lynch fell onto a passenger sat in their seat with a baby nearby as he 'stumbled' down the aisle with the seatbelt warning lights still on, a court heard.

And his mother - also drunk on the EasyJet plane from Antalya - attempted to push past police officers and told them to 'f*** off' when they boarded the flight and arrested him. She was subsequently arrested as well.
