This is the international lawyer filmed ranting at Air India staff on a Mumbai to London flight after she was refused alcohol – leaving other business class passengers holding hands in terror.
Simone O’Broin, 50, was arrested after she was caught on camera shouting abuse at male and female cabin crew and demanding another glass of wine.
At one point in the footage, she is seen yelling: 'I work for all you f***ing people... The f***ing Rohingyas, the f***ing people of all Asia, for you, I'm an international criminal lawyer.
'Don't get any money for it by the way. But you won't give me a f***ing glass of wine, is that correct?'.
The shocking incident took place on an Air India flight from Mumbai to London Heathrow last Saturday.
Belfast-born Ms O’Broin, who trained as a lawyer in the UK, studied international law and worked for years in Palestine, was understood to be on her way home from a two month break in Goa when she was caught on film.

Passengers sitting close to the lawyer and activist, who is now based in Hove, said she was deemed to be too drunk to be given any more alcohol and was also forbidden from smoking.
They said she allegedly stole a second bottle from the service area in direct defiance of airline staff, and shouted at the cabin crew for up to five hours.
She allegedly would not settle down until she received a letter from the pilot saying that the stewards were acting within the rules in refusing to serve her.
Ms O’Broin – also known as Simone Burns - was eventually taken off the plane by three armed police officers when it landed at Heathrow four hours later.
It is understood that the incident happened after Ms O’Broin – who was wearing a distinctive bandage on her nose after suffering a tumour - had not slept for two nights following problems with Air India flights.
When approached by MailOnline, she replied: ‘No comment.’
A source told MailOnline: ‘I’ve never known anyone go off like that for as long as she did. She was saying she was an international lawyer who’d worked in Gaza and the Palestinian strip. She was saying that she could put all of us in jail.
‘She was scary and out of control. It was exhausting. We were too frightened to sleep, at one point I was worried about the plane crashing it got so out of hand.
‘My wife and I were so terrified that we held hands and my wife told me not to look at her.
Shocking: The Northern Irish lawyer, who had been travelling in business class, lashed out after crew refused to serve her more alcohol on the flight, as she was 'very drunk'
‘It was like Michael Douglas losing it in the film Falling Down. I thought that she was probably normally a decent person but something had tipped her over the edge.’
The couple were flying back Air India from a holiday when they said their fellow business class passenger – who’d had a complimentary miniature bottle of wine – was stopped from lighting up a cigarette by the only female air stewardess looking after passengers at the front of the plane.
The source continued: ‘She was fine when we took off, but within a couple of hours she seemed drunk. And she just got worse.
‘The row started when she was prevented from lighting up a cigarette. She claimed she’d been travelling for so many years and that she’d always smoked on planes. She then tried to go into economy and to smoke there. The stewardess refused to serve her more wine and she just became an absolute lunatic.
‘She was aggressive, shouting and screaming about being a lawyer and she said, “I know my rights. I’m a business class passenger. I should be able to do what I want.”
‘None of the other passengers would look at her. We were all too scared! An air steward from economy kept coming into our section to help as even the staff were obviously so concerned. She got even more angry, saying that we were all snobs who were ignoring her.
‘She finally shut up when the hostess gave her a personal letter from the pilot reminding her that in fact the staff knew their rights and that the police would be waiting for her when we landed at Heathrow.
The 50-year-old shouts at a female member of staff, threatening to take her to court unless she is given a bottle of wine. She was later arrested
‘She started going mental again just before landing, I think because she was scared about what was coming.’
Three armed police officers escorted her off the plane first without any fuss upon arrival at London’s Heathrow.
The source added: ‘We paid £2,000 for flat-bed seat flights – and couldn’t sleep a wink thanks to her. The air stewardess looked really upset too. But I thought the staff handled a very difficult situation as best as they could in the circumstances.’
The footage sees the woman, hurling abuse at a crew member who is believed to be one of the pilots, shouting:'I work for all you f***ing people...
'The f***ing Rohingyas, the f***ing people of all Asia, for you, I'm an international criminal lawyer.
'Don't get any money for it by the way. But you won't give me a f***ing glass of wine, is that correct?'
She also claims to be a 'leader of the f***ing boycott movement', clapping in the air in front of the crewmember, before adding: 'If I say "boycott" - f***ing Air India, done.
'Do you understand me? You can't give me a wee bottle of wine?'
The man remains calm throughout her shocking tirade, after which she turns on another crew member, asking them if they are writing a report about her.
'F*** off! I'm a f***ing international criminal lawyer and a barrister. You will be p***ed on in court!'
She then calls the female crewmember an 'Indian f***ing moneygrabbing b*****d' before walking off back to her seat, shouting that she will 'turn you inside f***ing out, you f***ing stupid c***s!
Caught on camera: Fellow business class passengers also got an earful, with the Northern Irish woman accusing them of not 'standing up against injustice'
'Give me a bottle of wine and game over!'
Otherwise, she claims, she will cause issues for the staff member upon landing, however the woman appears to be too inebriated to remember where they are flying to.
The video clip ends with the 50-year-old having a rant at her fellow business class passengers for not 'standing up against injustice'.
Another video showing the continuation of the argument, which has been shared on social media by local journalist Tarun Shukla, captures the woman claiming to be the lawyer 'for the Palestinian people'.
'So, you think I'm scared when you threaten me with lawyers? Also, Irish Republican Army. You'll be f***ing shot. All you had to do was to give me a f***ing drink.'
London Metropolitan Police has confirmed that the woman was taken into custody at Heathrow Airport upon landing.
'At approximately 1.30pm on Saturday, 10 November, a 50-year-old woman was arrested after an Air India flight had landed at Heathrow Airport,' a police spokesperson told MailOnline.
'She was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order, common assault and drunk and disorderly and taken to a west London police station.
'She was subsequently released under investigation.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
