British Airways air crew had to battle for an hour to restrain an unruly passenger who forced the plane to turn around.
Horrified passengers watched on as the crazed man screamed hysterically as staff tried to restrain him on BA flight BA193 from London Heathrow to Dallas.
His antics culminated in him being cuffed to his seat and the plane turning around and going back to Heathrow with the captain opting out of an emergency landing in Glasgow.

The captain could be heard addressing frightened passengers on Monday, as he stated in a clip caught by one customer that the aircraft was in danger.
As he spoke over the tannoy, his 'cool and professional' colleagues along with some customers, restrained the man who was screaming obscenities.
The pilot said: 'This is the captain. Some of you may have noticed on the route map display the plane appears to have turned around. That is the case.
'The reason for that is one of the passengers in the cabin has become a danger to the aircraft.
'Your safety and that of the crew is my priority. The reason for that we are now going to be returning back to Glasgow where we will be offloading the passenger.
A passenger gesticulates during the pilot's announcement that the aircraft will be diverting
'I don't take these situations lightly. I'm sure you understand that your safety is the utmost priority for British Airways and me as the Captain of this aircraft.
'The company does know that this has been initiated and we will be doing all we can to get you on the ground and to look after you as best we can.
'As I say this is for the safety of this aircraft. We will be landing in just over an hour's time.'
As the man is restrained, some passengers can be seen moving out of harm's way.
The flight grounded back at Heathrow at 4pm, where police were waiting.
The flight was rescheduled and made it to Dallas later on Monday.
One witness told The Sun: 'The BA staff were the epitome of cool.
'It was a really scary situation that you would not wish on anyone, but the crew were totally professional.
'They managed to calm terrified passengers who were worried for the safety of the plane.'
A British Airways spokesperson said the sort of behaviour the man exhibited would 'never be tolerated' and that customers should never 'suffer from any sort of abuse.'
Met Police have been contacted for comment.

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.
