According to witnesses she screamed that there was a “bomb” on the flight before lunging for the exit door and life jackets.

Terrified passengers watched in horror as the panicked woman attempted to open up the door.

She was quickly “wrestled away” from the emergency door before the flight diverted and landed in Frankfurt.

The airliner confirmed that a “disruptive” passenger caused flight  EZY2148 to change destination.

A passenger sitting close to the emergency exit, told Manchester Evening News: “Once the plane had took off, she began to run up and down the plane screaming about how it was going down and there was a bomb.

“She also tried to get life jackets and oxygen masks out.”

The passenger also claimed the woman disturbed a couple by insisting that the plane was “going down”.

“She then quickly jumped up and grabbed the emergency exit door handle cover and ripped it off,” the passenger explained.

“She then went for the handle but was stopped by other passengers.”

‌The witness also claimed it took “three males” to wrestle her away from the door.

The onlooker added: “She was then taken to the back of the plane by cabin crew and we were alerted that the plane would be doing an emergency landing.”

The flight had been due to leave Dalaman, Turkey at 11pm, but departed at midnight local time.

The crew and passengers then touched down in Frankfurt at around 2:30am, as emergency services were seen boarding the flight.

An investigation has reportedly been launched in Germany to find what caused the woman to act in such a dramatic way.
