Police storm Ryanair plane after 'passengers cause mid-air chaos'

Spanish police have stormed a Ryanair flight from Newcastle to Alicante after five passengers began causing chaos in mid-air.

Air traffic controllers request police board the plane, a Boeing 737 flying from Newcastle International Airport to Alicante-Elche Miguel Hernández Airport, after the five passengers began being disruptive.

The pilot was given special permission to land the plane as soon as possible, which it did without incident.

Local media reported that after the plane landed and cops got on to identify the offending passengers, each of them fully 'cooperated with the police at all times.'

MailOnline has contacted Ryanair for comment.
