A lady stripped naked and rushed through a Jet2 jet yelling “Allahu Akbar” before being apprehended by a hero father.

Phillip O’Brien, 35, sprung into action when a passenger in a bra and hat said there were bombs onboard.

Before hurling herself into the cockpit of the Cyprus-Manchester aircraft, she had asked the teenagers she was with whether they were “ready to die.”

“As you can imagine, everyone was sh***ing themselves,” the father of three told The Sunday Mirror.

“I asked staff, ‘Why haven’t you put her on the floor?'”

The drainage engineer, who used to work in security, assaulted the woman after being informed by cabin staff that they couldn’t do anything.

The hero’s father held her, and the captain redirected the plane to Paris amid the terror that saw her accuse her family of being ISIS militants.

When Phillip questioned what she was talking about throughout the experience, he was informed, “If I don’t, there will be an explosion and everyone would die.”

At approximately 5 a.m. on Tuesday, terrifying footage recorded on video sharing app TikTok shows the turmoil in the cabin as the lady is brought away by authorities.

According to Jet2, the flight from Larnaca to Manchester had to make an emergency landing so that “a disruptive passenger could be offloaded.”

“We can confirm that flight LS944 from Larnaca to Manchester was sadly diverted to Charles De Gaulle Airport in the early hours of Tuesday morning to discharge a disruptive passenger,” they informed The Sun.

“As a family-friendly airline, we’d want to appreciate our highly trained crew for their excellent handling of this extremely difficult circumstance, and we’d also like to apologize to passengers for any difficulty or distress this caused.”
