The passenger, Ms. Comfort Emmanson, refused to switch off her phone before takeoff despite crew instructions. Things escalated when she confronted the Purser after landing .

Ms. Emmanson didn’t comply until the Pilot-in-Command intervened and a fellow passenger turned off her phone.
She attacked the Purser, stepping on her, tearing off her wig, removing her glasses, and assaulting her with footwear. She also slapped another crew member who tried to intervene.

Ms. Emmanson tried to forcibly remove a fire extinguisher, which could’ve damaged the aircraft.
