An air hostess had to force a couple to stop performing a sex act on a crowded passenger jet.

In footage of the bizarre scene, the female flight attendant approaches the couple while they sit in their seats.

She grabs the 41-year-old's tattooed arm off of the women, 43, prompting them to stop kissing.

"Come on, now, calm down and settle down quickly," she tells them in Russian.

While they look at her with blank expressions on their faces, the member of staff warns that the plane will land and they will be kicked out if they don't stop.

"Get you penis in your pants, right now," she demands.

While the man awkwardly shuffles in his unbuckled trousers, the flight attendant says: "Get your hand off his penis. Right now."

The clip cuts to the man - at this point with his trousers fully on - standing in a private part of the plane.

"Let's not argue, you will follow your recommendations," a voice behind the camera says while the man looks sheepish.

"I hope until the end of this flight you will sleep in your seat, the one you were lying in before."

The man asks: "So what?"

When the plane landed in Vladivostok the couple were detained by police accused of being drunk and performing oral sex in economy class.

A report said they had only met at the airport before boarding the plane.

The pair face up to 15 days “administrative arrest” and a fine, according to the Russian Interior Ministry.

The couple were in full view of other passengers on the eight-and-a-half hour flight by state-owned Rossiya Airlines.

Police did not reveal the names of the pair but the man was said to be from Vladivostok and the woman from Nakhodka.

They were found to be intoxicated on arrival at the destination.

Komsomolskaya Pravda newspaper reported that they had met at Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow before boarding the plane, possibly in a bar.
