Watch the moment an abusive boyfriend is dragged off an aircraft by police.
Callum Coady, 27, subjected his girlfriend to a year of control of abuse and it culminated in him throwing prosecco in her face during a heated spat in public.
He was seen shouting at his partner Daisy Martin and threatening to kill her after a Facebook message appeared on her phone.
Coady was detained by police officers, who then heard from Ms Martin about the extent of the abusive relationship.

He pleaded guilty to engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour and was jailed for 16 weeks, suspended for 12 months, at Manchester Magistrates’ Court.
Ms Martin said Coady, from Harwood Avenue in Heaton Mersey, Stockport, had made her “forget what love should feel like”.
“I struggle to believe anyone could genuinely want something healthy with me”, she said after the case.
“I feel anxious going places in case I see him, and I still look over my shoulder. My sense of safety is gone.”

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the abuse drew to a close on 19 August 2023 after the pair’s episode at the airport.
Airport staff intervened and called the police after Coady erupted at Ms Martin.
Camera footage released by GMP showed Coady complaining about missing his flight as he was marched away in handcuffs.
Ms Martin showed officers messages from Coady on her phone, which included demands to turn her location and share her messages.

One read: “Was that a [Snapchat] notification I heard from you?”
Ms Martin replied: “No it wasn’t me I deleted it.”
She admitted to feeling “trapped” and like there was “no way out” but did not realise what she was being subjected to was a criminal offence.
Det Con Elizabeth Andrews said Martin had shown "exceptional bravery" throughout the case.
"The thousands of messages recovered from Coady's phone provided a clear and disturbing insight into the level of control, manipulation and abuse she was subjected to, and they formed a crucial part of the evidence against him."
Ms Martin added: "I used to be open and secure, but that part of me feels damaged. This experience has deeply affected my trust and identity."
Coady was ordered to complete a relationships course with the Probation Service as part of his suspended sentence order.
He was also handed a five-year restraining order, meaning he is banned from contacting her.
He was also ordered to pay £200 compensation to Ms Martin.
