easyJet flight met by police after 'abusive' passenger urinates in aisle
Police officers stormed the plane on arrival in Tenerife on Wednesday morning. A disruptive passenger on board an easyJet flight is said to have urinated in the aisle, forcing staff to call ahead for police to meet the plane on arrival as a rowdy group caused trouble. The scenes played out on board the service from Birmingham to Tenerife South on Wednesday, July 2, with air traffic controllers giving it priority landing on the Spanish island, where it arrived just before 3.30am. Local newspaper Canarian Weekly reported the cabin crew had requested "urgent assistance" after the incident, with "significant disturbance" caused. The airline confirmed the group of passengers had become "abusive and threatening" during the flight. Police boarded the plane on arrival in Tenerife, the Mirror reports. However, it is not known whether any arrests were made. A spokesperson for easyJet said: "We can confirm that flight EZY6607 from Birmingham to Tenerife on 2 July was met by police on arrival due to a group of passengers behaving disruptively onboard. "easyJet's crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations. They acted quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers was not compromised at any time. The safety and well-being of our passengers and crew is always easyJet's priority, and we do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour onboard." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

It comes just weeks after police were called to an easyJet flight bound for Marrakech in May, which had descended into chaos by rowdy British passengers on a stag party. Two men reportedly vaped on board, drank heavily and subjected the crew to abuse. Despite six warnings from staff, they continued to act in a rowdy manner, and the pilot was forced to divert to Faro, Portugal, leaving fellow passengers fuming. A witness claimed: "The men were vaping in their seats and toilet, drinking heavily and to my opinion already drunk or close to when boarding. They were being abusive towards staff on the flight and I think they had an undertone of homophobia toward the head steward." An easyJet spokesperson said the flight, from London Gatwick to Marrakech on May 19, "diverted to Faro and was met by police upon arrival due to a group of passengers behaving disruptively onboard". Once the passengers had left the aircraft, the flight then continued to Marrakech. "Our cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and acted quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers was not compromised at any time. The safety and wellbeing of our passengers and crew is always easyJet's priority and we do not tolerate abusive or threatening behaviour onboard."

Kill Bill star Michael Madsen dies after being 'found unresponsive'
The star had been working on new films for the last two years. Hollywood actor Michael Madsen, known for appearing in Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs, has died at the age of 67. The star was "found unresponsive at home" in Malibu on Thursday, July 3. His manager confirmed his death was caused by cardiac arrest. Across a 40-year career, he was best known for his iconic parts in several Quentin Tarantino films. He starred in Kill Bill: Vol. 1, Reservoir Dogs, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Representatives said he was due to be involved in a number of upcoming releases, and had spent the last two years working on independent films, the Mirror reports. They included feature films such as Resurrection Road, Concessions, and Cookbook for Southern Housewives. His performance as Mr Blonde in Reservoir Dogs, which was a low-budget Tarantino production, cemented his place in film history. His acting as the sadistic and trigger happy villain earned him a nomination for the American Film Institute's list of the greatest movie villains of all time.
