The antics of British holiday-makers caused a Ryanair flight bound for Ibiza to be diverted to France. Picture: AFP/Philippe Huguen

“DRUNKEN British holiday-makers” forced an Ibiza-bound Ryanair flight to be diverted to France — before one of the men brawled with cops on the tarmac.

A rowdy group of English men had reportedly started demanding more booze on the flight from Stansted to the Balearic holiday island.

When the plane departed on Saturday, local time, the men — who have not been identified — were said to have already been drinking strong lager and spirits, The Sun reported.

A witness claimed one of the men became angry when a flight attendant refused to serve them more drinks.

“One of the guys wanted to buy something extra and was a bit rude — the flight attendant was ignoring him,” claimed the source.

“He went on demanding, and grabbed her by the arm asking to serve him.”

The shocked witnesses also claims other members of the group argued with flight attendants before scuffling among themselves.

Pilots diverted the plane to Bordeaux in the south of France where officers were waiting to arrest the rowdy flyers.

One ejected passenger in a black shirt could be filmed throwing a bag across the runway before brawling with cops on the tarmac.

Cops wrestled the passenger to the ground but he then jumped up and appeared to exchange blows with one officer.

A Bordeaux airport source said: “Unruly passengers were removed, and they caused further problems as they were being escorted away.

“The incident is still being investigated and could lead to criminal charges.”

Ryanair said: “This flight from London Stansted to Ibiza diverted to Bordeaux after a number of passengers became disruptive in flight.

“The aircraft landed normally and the passengers were removed and detained by police upon arrival, before the aircraft continued to Ibiza.

“We will not tolerate unruly or disruptive behaviour at any time and the safety and comfort of our customers, crew and aircraft is our number one priority. This is now a matter for local police.”
