A partially dressed female air passenger screamed while her arms and legs were tied up, after she had to be restrained by cabin crew mid flight.

The blonde woman, topless but for her black bra, was held after she started causing havoc on a flight from the Russian capital city of Moscow, to the resort city of Antalya in south-western Turkey.

Cabin crew said the woman was out of control after drinking too much in the duty free bar at Moscow before boarding the flight, and they had to restrain her shortly after take off.

The woman was violent and abusive and her behaviour was frightening other passengers, they said.

They tied her legs together and her hands behind her back, before sitting her on the floor of the plane away from other passengers.

It is not reported why she was only partially dressed.

Footage shot by an eyewitness shows her trying to hit her head on the wall of the plane as a flight attendant tries to position a jacket to prevent her from hurting herself.

The woman can be heard shouting: "I am begging you. My arms are tied. I cannot get hold of you, please.

"You see what is going on. Look at me. Look at my blood.

"Those are beasts, those are liars, they are trying to trick you."

The woman claimed she could see invisible people who she said were trying to kill her.

Russian media reports that the woman was released on arrival at Antalya Airport.

Turkish police reportedly said they had no interest in charging the woman and let her go free.

Netizen 'CrystalNova' said: "Seriously, they simply let her go? No fines? No black list? No nothing? Just go, get some tan, you drunk woman..."

And 'maimung' added: "I am always shocked that people like that are even allowed on board.

"I think drunkards should be fined, as well as the people who let them get on board."
