A furious ballerina kicked a police officer in the testicles after being told she was too drunk to get on a plane.

Daiana Andreas Rivera found herself in a confrontation with cops at Heathrow airport after fellow passengers told staff she had had too much to drink.

They saw the 33-year-old being 'drunk and disorderly' in the airport Wetherspoon.

When she was approached by staff Ms Rivera kicked one in the genitals and scratched another in the face.

Officers searched her they found she had a lock knife in her possession.

The dancer, who has appeared with Spain's Víctor Ullate Ballet company, cried as she appeared via video link at Isleworth Crown Court charged with common assault on an emergency worker and possession of a knife, The Sun reported.

At an earlier hearing the Spaniard had admitted being drunk and disorderly.

According to her solicitor Ms Rivera had become aggressive when she failed to find her passport and was told she couldn't board a flight home.

The solicitor said: “When the officers tried to escort her to a police van, she tried to bite an officer on the arm, as well as kicking and scratching him.

“She became more aggressive and kicked another officer in the testicles before grabbing the other officer and drew blood with her nails.

“Ms Rivera did not attack anyone with the lock knife, she forgot she had it with her.”

She was fined £100 for being drunk and disorderly and was denied bail.

She is currently being detained at HMP Bronzefield.
