September 19, 2017
A flight from Manchester, England, to Marrakech, Morocco, was forced to divert to Lisbon on Monday after a passenger allegedly assaulted cabin crew members and launched a racist tirade on fellow passengers. Two hundred passengers aboard the easyJet flight were shuttled to nearby hotels before boarding flights the following day.
According to witnesses, the individual appeared to be drunk. It was unclear what sparked the incident, though fellow passengers claimed the unnamed individual was intoxicated prior to boarding the flight with the British budget carrier.
