A plane full of Scottish holidaymakers had to be diverted to Bristol following reports of a “sexual offence” being committed mid-flight.
Police arrested a passenger after the flight from Edinburgh broke off its journey to touch down in England on Tuesday.
Avon and Somerset Police said it "received information" leading to the arrest of a male passenger at Bristol Airport.
The flight, which took off on Tuesday morning, was heading to Ibiza.
