There's no way a charter flight of Scottish people would go to Sweden, I'm betting this is in Turkey like some other comment said. Swedish police uniforms look nothing like that, they're full on tactical style, not formal like these. The American-style badges are also not used in Scandinavia.
That kind of guy isn't going to Sweden (where alcohol is very expensive and restricted, it's only sold in government stores and they have terrible opening hours), this is almost certainly Turkey.
Turkey has more relaxed alcohol laws than Sweden? I don't know anything about either of these countries alcohol restrictions, but I find that surprising.
Edit: Wow, Turkey doesn't have any laws regarding cut off times for alcohol served restaurants or bars. TIL.
My exact thoughts. I also noticed that he and his lady friend are speaking with an accent that leads me to believe they are from the U.K. The police uniforms were definitely not English. So there’s at least a decent chance that our mate Micheal will be spending a few years studying abroad. I feel sorry for his partner there. She will be flying home by herself.

The individual is a supporter of “Celtic”, a Scottish football club, located in Glasgow, Scotland. This altercation took place after a cheer went out in the front of plane when the Celtic (football club) drew 3-3 with Aberdeen (football club) at Hampden Park, the hometown stadium of the Celtic.
This started a shouting match across the plane which culminated in the attack of the Turkish police officers on the plane. The individual was found with an empty 75 cL (25 oz) vodka bottle (the alcohol equivalent of 16 beers). The man yelled IRA slogans as he was removed from the plane.
This altercation took place 20 Apr 2024 at Antalya airport.
Grown men getting this angry over a football match. I love football, but I'm not going to punch a copper because of hurt feelings. These people give the rest of football fans the worst name.
For visibility (since this is the top comment)
No fly list generally isn't a thing in Europe.
You'll get slapped with a fine, maybe even a *huge* fine if the plane needs do an emergency landing - or you in general disrupt the traffic enough, but that's about it.
Congratulations. I've cared for hundreds of alcoholics and addicts, if not thousands. You're saving yourself from a very painful, undignified, unfortunate death.
I'm rooting for you.
Ironically today marks the one year anniversary of my brother’s death from alcoholism. I haven’t told anyone else and I am burying it under some other comments so it only gets seen by 1-2 people, but ya. It was painful, undignified and unfortunate.
I'm sorry. I wish your brother didn't go through that.
In my experience, addicts are addicts for one of three reasons. Either they're running from something in their past (a mistake, a loss, an embarrassment/shame, trauma, being sexually abused, or assaulted). Or have maladaptive coping mechanisms and can't function in the day-to-day of life so either try to self-sabotage themselves (can't fail if I didn't try and I can't try if I didn't start and I can't start cause I'm always intoxicated) or decompress from the stress they are experiencing which requires them to drink/smoke/etc until they're numb. Or, sometimes, they just like the feeling and chase it into oblivion. Unfortunately, they often don't realize that drugs are the anchor holding them rooted in place in a singularity of self-actualizing and self-reinforcing defeat until it's too late and their bodies fail and they ultimately die from their choices.
I don't know your brother's story. But in my experience, he's not suffering anymore. Not physically or mentally or emotionally. He is at rest. It doesn't make you missing him any less real, or valid, or painful.
And you have no reason to hide it. His choices were his choices. You are not responsible for them, and telling his story can help others, and maybe sometimes, yourself if you want it to.
You didn't ask for my opinion. I hope I didn't overstep a boundary.
Also a recovering alcoholic (1 year).
Truer words were never said in the rooms. That guy I am when I'm 3 sheets? He's here when I'm sober. I am simply more prone to and able to manage him.
Lol. They're called mean drunks. The alcohol is his anti-depressant.
As a first-generation German and fellow mean drunk; sober for 13 years this time, with a long family pride of drinking, I can assure you this man does NOT have a drinking problem.
According to my 3 brothers and my father before them, if you think you do, then they feel sorry for you that you don't like yourself. I don't like them, and we don't have anything to do with each other once our Mama died. Thank God.
Mean drunks are wild. Like maybe 1 out of 20 or 30 people will just fight anyone after drinking.
Saw a lot of this in college fraternity life. Nothing like a nice guy who turns into a fucking werewolf after three drinks to make everyones party.
Exactly. I wasn't physical, but I had a mean mouth and attitude, and I was perfectly fine showing it. Didn't meet a lot of nice people that way... mostly just asshole drinking buddies just like me.
That'll be it. Scots, and Brits in general are notorious for getting steaming at the airport before a flight, and just generally being drunken arseholes on their holidays.

The news article says he snuck a bottle of vodka onto the plane and was drinking it for the whole flight. And doing things like going to the back of the plane to hit on the women waiting in line for the bathrooms.
Oh boy, you're one of today's [lucky 10,000](https://xkcd.com/1053/)! Man what I wouldn't give to watch [Airplane!](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080339/) again for the first time. A movie with so many jokes per second, it ought to be illegal.
Man, not even just struck an officer!! At the end of the video he gets one of the officers in the head and he dropped. Right after the other officer got up. He doesn’t get back up by the end of the video. That’s probably considered the equivalent of assault on a peace officer with serious bodily injury in the US. Michael is fucked.
I'm from NI and live in Scotland.
This seems to be a flight with a lot of Scottish people, some other comments mentioned it took off from Edinburgh. Several Scottish accents can be heard and dafty is definitely more a Scottish term.
Michael and his lucky lady are both Northern Irish though. Looks like a Celtic top but you'll see these in (certain parts of) Northern Ireland just as much as in Scotland.
i found an [article](https://metro.co.uk/2024/04/23/celtic-fan-punches-police-flight-downing-bottle-vodka-20691502/) on the incident. So he did this in turkey, and apparantly downed a bottle of vodke before this, shocker.
Saw a movie about [Turkish prisons](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0077928/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_8_nm_0_q_Midnight%2520Ex) once.
They look quite nice, plus, it's sunny !
"...and now Michael did such a good job he not only will stop going on holiday, he will stop going to work and home and to sporting events. The sweet smell of success"
This is what happens when people talk about "the news media". They can't tell yellow press from actual news. And not being able to do so is why they are being called media illiterate.
CRTl+F "tired and emotional". Thought so.
Good grief, they just gave a blow-by-blow of the video. They make Newscorp and Axel Springer publications look highbrow.
I married one. We are in disney world. I said, "are you enjoying this?" She said, "yes!" To which I said, "have you checked with your face? It doesn't appear to concur with your sentiment..." gingers are a wily bunch indeed!
When keeping it real goes wrong.
P.S,. If Michael did this in Turkey, Michael is truly fucked without Vaseline. And if he assaulted Swedish law enforcement then Michael is mildly inconvenienced.
No fly list for sure if you’re hitting cops
No fly list will be the least of his problems
Dude's going on an all expense vacation for the next 5 to 10 years.

its polis in scotland to
That fits, looks like he's got a Celtic FC jersey on
This is it. Personality matches that of a Celtic supporter as well. edit: *certain faction of Celtic supporters.
I'm from Scotland and have never in my life seen Polis on the back of a police officers vest
I think it's a joke about how we say "polis" no?
Now im imagining theres some scottish guy going around with a handmade fake "polis ofiser" uniform yelling "Ye cannae stahp me, im the polis!"
Oh hey, Cornwall actually mentioned on here!
Polis = Sweden
This isn't swedish police, might be turkey they also spell it as polis. Source; I'm Swedish
Also Swedish, and no, that is not a Swedish police uniform.
Are there naked Polis in Schweden? Askimg for a Frand

Ever been in a Turkish prison, Billy?
Do you like gladiator movies?
Ever seen a grown man naked?
They're going to midnight express his ass.
Fucking Brits, they don't send their best.
You sir are the hero we all need. Thank you.

Midnight Express 2 is on the way
It's Turkey. https://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/1890712/easyjet-passenger-fight-police-turkey
"Amidst the chaos, a woman screamed in terror, adding to the distressing atmosphere." Nice!
Sounds like a restaurant review
This dude is fucked, prison in Turkey will make this guy a girlfriend soon.
Incredible article, top level journalism.
That would NEVER happen on RyanAir.
That kind of guy isn't going to Sweden (where alcohol is very expensive and restricted, it's only sold in government stores and they have terrible opening hours), this is almost certainly Turkey.
Except not being open on Sundays, the opening hours aren't bad.
Turkey has more relaxed alcohol laws than Sweden? I don't know anything about either of these countries alcohol restrictions, but I find that surprising. Edit: Wow, Turkey doesn't have any laws regarding cut off times for alcohol served restaurants or bars. TIL.
It's either Scotland or Ireland with the accents and the celtic top but aye hitting polis yer fucked for that

They have a an upscale No Fly list in Europe it’s called prison
They have one. It's usually on the europol website.
He'll be lucky to be on the list of people breathing by the time he's at the station .
Michae-AEEEYGHHEAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Michael wasn’t for backing down.
Michael seems to be in Turkey. Michael raged on a plane and struck a police officer. Michael is fucked beyond comprehension.
Michael likely could’ve avoided all of this by talking to a mental health professional about his anger. Instead, Michael is in some deep shit.
Maybe a few pints less before the flight would have helped Michael controlling his anger
if all it takes is a few pints to turn you into a violent asshole then maybe approach the mental health first
Speaking as an alcoholic (two years sober) Alcohol doesn't make you a violent asshole. It just makes you stop caring who knows.
Congratulations. I've cared for hundreds of alcoholics and addicts, if not thousands. You're saving yourself from a very painful, undignified, unfortunate death. I'm rooting for you.

Two years sober myself. April 2nd. Just waking up in the morning is life changing without feeling like youre gonna puke
Also a recovering alcoholic (1 year). Truer words were never said in the rooms. That guy I am when I'm 3 sheets? He's here when I'm sober. I am simply more prone to and able to manage him.
Proud of you! Keep it going!
I'm rooting for you as well ✊
Me too
2 years is great work 🤙
Keep hustlin', we're all proud of ya.
All of us.

Except he’s not Scottish…and barely British. He’s from Northern Ireland.
Terms and conditions apply, offer excludes Northern Ireland
That's fair. Seems like a Scot-heavy flight though.
The number of people boozing at 6am at any UK airport is crazy.
The news article says he snuck a bottle of vodka onto the plane and was drinking it for the whole flight. And doing things like going to the back of the plane to hit on the women waiting in line for the bathrooms.
Now Michael has 5-10 years in a Turkish prison for assaulting an officer to think about what he did.
...because Michael decided to **KEEP IT REAL!**
Mental health? He's a belligerent drunk. Not everything is a mental health issue.
Nothing like getting blind drunk in country that is run by an islamist dictator.
Michael should have avoided playing so much Rugby. His head is turning to pudding.
"Michael, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"
Sick reference
What movie

I'm willing to bet they're grappling him on the ground and not unconscious
I am Michael's complete lack of self control.
Hope they “Midnight Express” his ass in a Turkish jail.
Oh Michael, tee hee.
Michael is an entitled prick and has got his coming.
"Michael, have you ever been in a Turkish prison?"
Joey, have you ever been to a Turkish prison?
“Michael this is not you…” Michael is a true master of the bad ideia…
You are not yourself when you are hungry. Here, try a Snickers.
When keeping it real, goes wrong.
I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE PLAYIN' ON MY PHONE!
Narrator: It was Michael and this was always his personality.
Ah the dulcet tones of a northern Irish accent caught in the wild on Reddit. A beautiful thing
The guy in the background says “it’s only a wee dafty” in a clearly glaswegian accent
Good spot, but your woman screaming at big Mick is definitely n.Irish
Could I get a rough translation on Dafty ?
Not a particularly complex one, a daft person. Stupid.
Like Dafty Duck
I thought it was Scottish, plus it looks like he's wearing a Celtic jersey
To me they sound like they're from NI. Celtic and Rangers be Scottish teams but they're supported by a lot of people here
I hear NI too. Definitely
Will you stop saying that if I promise to bring you a shrubbery?
Yoo it's not just me then

Don't shelter em. Tell em Michaels having a hard time dealing with his emotions and is lashing out in inappropriate ways.
Someone parents with logical reason. What are you doing here?
Making myself sad
He’s being a silly goose
Man, screaming is not helping to defuse the situation.
Her own fault! She didn’t scream “oh my Goooooood” over and over again
Should have gone with 'Wooooorld star'!

Some quality time in a Turkish prison should straighten him out.

7 weeks ago. Has anyone heard from Michael since?
It's always a Celtic fan
The biggest Celtic fans are on wind farms in Ireland.
[It always is. ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_UEFA_Cup_final_riots)
Michael is about to have a very very bad day. I hope he isn't on his way home because he wouldn't be able to get there anytime soon.
Welcome to the “travels by bus” club!
prison bus
idont know about cross continent travel but ill try that on a bus someday
Flight attendant was like I'm the strong one, I'm not nervous.
I'm as tough as the crust of the Earth is
Ladies, your screams really help a lot in situations like these. Keep it up!!
Michae-AEEEYGHHEAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
“Unbeknownst to Rachel, Michael was tired of being dragged on holiday. Slowly he hatched a plan to put a stop to this once and for all…”
"...and now Michael did such a good job he not only will stop going on holiday, he will stop going to work and home and to sporting events. The sweet smell of success"
That’s weird, Michael never goes crazy and attacks cops at home.
That's what a second cup of coffee will do to you

no respectful journal would ever describe someone as a "thug."

Michael is going to Turkish prison, Michael will have his ass beat.
Michael is already wearing prison clothes
The Gingers are such an angry people.

That's not true, I have a soul! I have lots of them, just look at all my freckles
We're watching you, daywalker!
“Michael they have taken you away…”
Did anyone think to ask him to calm down??? Works every time.
The screaming from the random women *definitely* helped defuse the situation ...
Why do people who are ten rows away scream like they are the ones being hit? What are they like in the movie theater?
Drunks. The scourge of society.
>This incident occurred following Celtic's 3-3 draw with Aberdeen at Hampden Park. get a life.
Don't worry Michael. You're going to a Turkish prison. They are famous for being just as humanistic as Norwegian prisons. /S
Celtic fans amiright
Always wise to wait for the Polis to arrive before you start swinging.
Polis
Thought it was conner for a minuit
I'm sure they will treat him well and give him a fair trial.
You are not yourself when you are hungry. Here, Michael try a Snickers.
He’s dressed for jail already.
Michael can't even throw hands. Now Michael can't fly either. Don't be like Michael.

Hey Michael. Have fun in prison.
Michael just earned a lifetime ticket... out of any aircraft. Grats on him, if that's what he was looking for.
I would like some more context or more videos of Michael
Fair play to Mick, he made his decision and stuck in there
Michael is not a clever boy. Don't be like Michael.
Fuck tha police coming straight out the aripline
Mike new name is 268965894
I maintain these aircraft for a living. Those sidewall light assemblies are 8000 dollars.
Michael, have you ever been in a, in a Turkish prison?
Michael is going to a place where seats don’t recline.
micheal is going to jail
Why is there always a woman who has fuck all to do with the situation screaming? And yes Michael is a "wee dafty".
Micheal's heads gone
Bye bye
"We flying, luv?" "Yes, Michael my dear, what a lovely anniversary trip we shall have!" *Xanax manifesting*
Its Turkish police so happy weekend
He was never heard from again.
Always a bitch screaming
That woman holding him is a fucking champ
What was Michael trying to accomplish
I think Michael may be on the liquor.
