A drunk tried to blame the cabin crew for serving him booze after he went berserk on a flight. Abid Hussain, 49, necked four miniature bottles of whiskey on a flight from Dubai to Manchester.

His loutish behaviour was so bad that staff restrained him using cable ties. Manchester Crown Court heard that when police asked him to stop swearing Hussain told them he didn’t ‘give a f***’.

He was locked up for his ‘atrocious’ actions.
