A MAN was dragged off a plane after fighting with other passengers on an easyJet flight before he hurled vile racist abuse at the police.
Christopher Burgess was on his way back to Manchester Airport from Alicante when he began causing a disturbance.
As the flight landed on November 8, 2023, police were quickly called, and found Burgess, 44, being restrained by other passengers, face down on the floor.
They told the officers that he had been 'biting and spitting' and the behaviour had lasted for around half an hour.
