Drunk British Airways passenger told crew 'I want to fight you' before police escorted him off plane

Yogeshwar Sharma had a bottle of vodka and took two doses of prescription medication before he got on a flight to Delhi, India.

After being told he was too drunk to fly, he shouted "f*** off" at staff.

The 51-year-old later tried to spit at police officers and punched a paramedic at Heathrow Airport.

Sharma refused to leave the plane once police arrived.

He took out a lighter and started to vape after being told he was not allowed to smoke.

Uxbridge Magistrates' Court heard that Sharma was escorted off the plane when he tried to spit at officers and lunged towards paramedic Mick Hinde.

Mr Hinde said in a statement that he managed to dodge the worst of the blow so was not injured but that Sharma's fist hit his chin.

Sharma does not remember getting on the plane and was 'appalled' by his actions, the court heard.

Antonia Gray, defending, said: "The reality of the situation is he has absolutely no recollection of the incident.
