Women try to open door mid-flight

The women allegedly became violent when they were refused more alcohol

A plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Germany after two
British women tried to open a cabin door mid-flight, police have said.

The women, aged 26 and 27, were drinking heavily and had to be held in
their seats by security staff until the plane landed in Frankfurt.

They were arrested and released after two hours, Frankfurt police
said.

The flight was on its way from the Greek island of Kos to Manchester
when the incident happened on Wednesday.

Hartmut Scherer, a spokesman for police at Frankfurt International
Airport, said the women had become violent with flight attendants
because they were refused more alcohol.

The 26-year-old woman is reported to have tried to strike a flight
attendant with a vodka bottle after the crew refused to serve the pair
any more alcohol.

"Both the women drunk a lot of alcohol on the plane and it was a risk
because they made some trouble," said Mr Scherer.

The incident happened at an altitude of 10,000 metres, Reuters news
agency reported.

Two-hour delay

Mr Scherer said the captain had thought the best option would be to
make an unscheduled stop in Frankfurt and remove the women from the
plane.

"They wanted to open a door in the plane but that was not possible and
someone from the security held them in their seats until the landing,"
he said.

The women face charges of grievous bodily harm and violating air
traffic regulations, according to Reuters.

The plane later flew on to Manchester after a two-hour delay.

Meanwhile, the women were questioned by police but released and
allowed to return to the UK.

German media had reported that the airline would charge the pair for
the cost of the diversion.

But Mr Scherer said police were deciding whether to press charges,
adding that the women could also be fined or forced to pay
compensation.
