Gatwick: A plane had to be diverted to Gatwick Airport last night after a woman allegedly became angry and threw her prosthetic leg at cabin crew.
A Sussex police spokesman said that the trouble started when the woman aged 48 started “swearing blue murder” and throwing food at staff on the Thomson Airlines flight 297.
The captain of the flight who was afraid by her extreme behavior, diverted the plane to Gatwick, which was actually flying from Enfidha in Tunisia and destined for Edinburgh.
The unemployed woman from Edinburgh, was arrested by police at the North Terminal following the incident.
She was taken to Crawley police station for questioning by officers on suspicion for exhibiting a threatening behavior.
According to the Police, the drunk woman created trouble at the airlines because she was in need of cigarettes.
