According to the police, a passenger on a flight from Manchester to Rhodes rioted so much that the pilot was forced to stop in Munich.
According to a statement, the incident happened on Wednesday.
The 69-year-old mobbed the flight crew and tried unsuccessfully to open two cabin doors.
Fixed on board
When the crew on board tried to bring the woman back to her seat, she is said to have hit two employees in the face and upper body.
With the help of other passengers, the staff fixed the woman.
The pilot was forced to stop at Munich Airport because the 69-year-old is said to have continued to be aggressive.
