A 'drunk' sports star allegedly floored an air stewardess when she refused to top up his whisky - sparking an emergency landing.
Former Russian ice hockey player Oleg Saprykin jumped out of his seat on the flight from Sochi to Moscow, screamed at the attendant, before striking her on the head as she tried to calm him, it has been claimed.
She then fell to the floor and was "badly bruised", according to a report.
As a result, the pilot made an emergency landing in Voronezh, Russia, where 37-year-old Saprykin was detained.
In a video released by the Russian Interior Ministry, the sports star can be seen in only his underwear banging on a cell door and throwing broken furniture through the bars.
