VIDEO: Drunk Irish woman arrested after racist rant on Air India flight | Secret Flying

A drunk Irish woman was arrested after hurling abuse at the crew in a London-bound Air India flight because they would not serve her more alcohol.

 

An Irish woman has been arrested at Heathrow Airport following a drunken rant on her Air India flight from Mumbai.

 

Simone O’Broin, 50, became irate after being denied more wine on Saturday’s London-bound flight.

 

“I am a f*****g international lawyer,” O’Broin yells at a male crew member before calling a female flight attendant an “Indian f*****g money-grabbing b*****d”.

 

“The f*****g Rohingyas, the f*****g 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*****g glass of wine, is that correct?” she says.

 

O’Broin, who was a business class passenger on the flight, apparently spits at the pilot in the video before saying, “I’ll turn you inside f*****g out. You f*****g stupid c**t.”

 

She also claims to be a ‘leader of the f*****g boycott movement’, adding: “If I say boycott – f*****g Air India, done.”

 

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.”

 

An Air India spokesperson said: “As a thumb rule, a passenger can be served 2-3 pegs of hard liquor and another 3-4 glasses of wine. Passengers in business class can get a little more. But this passenger already had four quarter bottles of wine and was insisting for more. When denied, she started shouting and abusing the crew members.”
