A passenger from hell triggered an emergency landing on a flight after undressing, threatening the crew, and attempting to jump out of the aircraft.

The incident, involving a Russian-speaking man, took place on an Air Asia international flight from Nha Trang, Vietnam to Bangkok, Thailand.

Reports in Russian media say that the unidentified bearded man started ‘behaving strangely’ after takeoff.

‘The man – likely drunk – challenged flight attendants to a fistfight,’ said news outlet Readovka.

Footage caught him demanding in English: ‘Don’t touch me’ before ordering the crew to unlock the door.

He then yelled in Russian: ‘Can you ****ing tell the flight attendants that they should ****ing open the goddam door.

‘Do they want us to die here?’

At one point he ‘announced to the entire cabin that he was going to jump off the plane’.

According to passengers, the tourist met another man on the plane and then started behaving strangely

A Telegram report said that according to passengers, the tourist met another man on the plane and then started behaving strangely.

‘[He was] constantly going to the toilet and being agitated,’ the report read.

‘He then argued with a flight attendant, stating that he needed to get off the plane.

‘Passengers tried to calm him down, but he began shouting and trying to pick a fight with the flight attendants.

‘In the end, the man stripped down to his underwear and ran around the cabin, trying to get off the plane.’

The near-naked tourist then jumped through the open door of the flight before the stairway was in place.

News outlet Shot reported: ‘A half-naked, rowdy tourist caused a disturbance during a flight, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing at the airport….

‘The flight was interrupted due to the unruly tourist, and the plane made an emergency landing.

‘The man ran from the cabin and attempted to escape, but was apprehended by police officers.’

The plane was scheduled to land at Don Mueang airport in Bangkok.

Last February, a similar incident occurred on a flight from Khabarovsk, Russia, to Phuket.

A passenger began drinking alcohol before taking off her trousers and underwear in the middle of the flight.

Passengers said she attempted to engage in innapropriate behaviour with her fellow seatmates.

She eventually lost consciousness and flight attendants made sure she remained in her seat for the rest of the flight.
