Drunk Plane Passenger Breaks Steward's Leg And Attacks Pilots In Air Rage Frenzy

A drunk and angry passenger attacked both pilots in a Boeing 737 cockpit and broke the leg of a steward - before his flight had even taken off.



Maxim Pashnin, 36, also pushed a female flight attendant before he was overcome by the captain and his co-pilot and handed to police.



One account said that at one point he was “knocked down” by the flight deck crew.



The “air hooliganism” incident was on a 10.30am Aeroflot flight departing from Novosibirsk in Siberia to Moscow with 158 passengers.



The plumber, who now faces up to six years in jail, was removed from the aircraft before it flew to the Russian capital.
