A Turkey-bound flight was forced to make an emergency landing after an Irishman stripped off and attempted to have sex with a stewardess.

The man, who has been identified by the Serbian Interior Ministry as an Irish resident, boarded the Sun Express flight from Dublin to Izmir with a large group of friends on Saturday.

But as the plane took off, it is alleged the man began stripping off, before taking off his underwear and starting to wave his penis around.

He then demanded sex with the horrified crew, it is claimed.

When they refused and tried to calm him down, the man reportedly became aggressive and started jumping on the seats - all the while being cheered on by his friends, according to fellow passengers.

The plane made an emergency landing at the Nikola Tesla airport in Serbian capital Belgrade, where the 120 passengers were escorted to a waiting lounge while police escorted Butler off the flight.

But as the passengers waited to board the plane so they could reach their destination, the Irish group, who were wearing beachwear, became aggressive and more debauched.

Witnesses claim they drank 250 pints of beer between them, and forcing the plane to be delayed by 10 hours.

A police spokesman told MailOnline: 'There was a girl who was so drunk that she was offering sex to airport employees.

'The group were chanting and shouting. One could see that they were very drunk.

'The girl even offered sex to police officers at the scene who were trying to calm the situation down.'

The girl is understood to have been arrested later.

One eye witness at the airport told local media: 'The Irish group was behaving so aggressively other passengers were terrified to even look at them.

'I do not remember seeing anything like this in all my years of flying.

'They were so drunk they didn't even know where they were.'

A spokesman for the Serbian Interior Ministry said the 'Irish citizen... was visibly intoxicated, aggressive and very rude.

'He insulted the crew and resisted the security guards. He even tried to physically attack our officers.

'He was quickly overcome and detained until he sobered up.'

The detained pair were later allowed to board another flight.

A spokesman for the airport confirmed: 'Sun Express flight from Dublin to Izmir landed in Belgrade on Saturday, October 17, at 2pm local time.

'It departed to Izmir on the same day at 11pm.'
