A man has been labelled a ‘have-a-go hero’ after taking down a fellow passenger on the Ryanair flight

A man has been labelled a ‘have-a-go hero’ after taking down a fellow passenger on the Ryanair flight.

Footage captured the shocking moment the man jumped out of his seat and placed the disruptive passenger in a chokehold to restrain him.

Dean Whiteside, from Dagenham, Essex, captured the video on his phone.

The 26-year-old said the younger man was drunk and had been disruptive for much of the flight.

He was confronted by a flight attendant when the plane touched down in London Luton at 11pm on June 30.

But the man refused to cooperate with cabin crew.
