Wild video shows a drunk British dad fighting with police who then drag him off a plane by his ear after he allegedly tried to open an emergency door mid-flight.
Now-viral video shows the bald Brit resisting French police who try to haul him off a budget Ryanair flight that was forced to make an emergency landing, with him telling them, “No, no, no — no f–king way!”
He was then marched off the plane to cheers from other passengers — with a cop grabbing him by the ear and twisting it to get him to obey his orders.

He briefly scuffled with the officers before he agreed to be removed from the plane. TikTokThe hulking tourist was identified as Daniel Ashley-Laws, a dad who said he was so intoxicated it was hours before he could properly speak to police, according to the Sun.
An initial clip on TikTok played it with the “Nothing beats a Jet2holidays” voiceover that has become a viral meme for anything going chaotically wrong.
Still, it was “terrifying for everybody else on the flight” when the slurring passenger tried to open the door mid-flight from London to Alicante in Spain, a police source told the Sun.
“The pilot had no other option except to land the plane,” the source said of the emergency landing in Toulouse.
Ashley-Laws was on a bachelor party, with four of his pals — including one claiming to be his son — also escorted off the plane. It was not clear if they face charges.
Ashley-Laws had been drinking duty-free booze and could “barely stand up,” with his “blood alcohol level was so high that it was a number of hours before he could be spoken to,” the police source said.

“Ryanair has a zero-tolerance policy for unacceptable passenger behavior and will continue to take strict measures to address it, ensuring all passengers and crew have a smooth and enjoyable journey, without unnecessary disruption,” the airline said.
