Manchester Airport: Viral TikTok with over two million views shows moment two 'drunk and disorderly' people arrested
A video has gone viral on TikTok showing the moment two people are arrested at Manchester Airport.
The incident occurred on Wednesday 25 June at the airport. The video posted on TikTok shows police officers grappling two people to the ground.
The video has gone viral with over two million views. Many users commented on the video asking for clarification on what was happening. One user wrote: “Can someone explain to me what is happening?”.
Another said: “Usual suspects can’t just get on the plane and have a holiday, good job they got arrested here. Because there would have been trouble on the flight”.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed to NationalWorld that two people had been arrested “charged with being drunk and disorderly”. The force said: “Airport officers have secured charges against two people arrested on Wednesday 25 June.
“They will next appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates Court on 31/10/25. A 35-year-old woman was also bailed to attend court.”
It comes as Ryanair aims to punish disruptive passengers. The airline says fines will be ‘minimum’ punishment and it will continue to pursue ejected customers for civil damages.
It announced it will issue £500 fines for passengers whose behaviour results in them being removed from the plane. A spokesperson for Ryanair said: “It is unacceptable that passengers are made to suffer unnecessary disruption because of one unruly passenger’s behaviour.”
