A 49-year-old female passenger Anzhelika Moskvitina was arrested by police for creating ruckus on an Aeroflot flight from Stavropol to Moscow. She bared her chest in front of other passengers – including children – on the flight in protest of not letting her smoke in the lavatory on the plane. As per a report on Mirror, the woman passenger was restrained with cuffs on the flight, and was handed over to the cops upon landing in Moscow. A video has surfaced on the social media platforms revealing the moment when the woman – suspected of being intoxicated – was arguing with cabin crew as they sought to pacify her.
As per reports, the high drama began at a height of 33,000 ft when Anzhelika Moskvitina locked herself in the toilet and smoked while the plane was going through turbulence. When asked to back to her seat, she bared herself open in front of everyone, and demanded to enter the cockpit. As business class passengers assisted the crew to restrain her, she bit one of the male cabin crew.

On the order of the captain, she was handcuffed using plastic cuff on the flight and was taken to the galley, where the purported video of the conversation between a crew member and Moskvitina was recorded.
Conversation between attendant and passenger
As seen in the video, the cabin crew asks the unruly passenger to take a seat and get dressed, “take a seat and get dressed,” she was ordered by the crew. “Where are your clothes?” She was asked: “Do you understand you’re violating the behaviour rules on the plane? There are children here. Respect them at least.”
She replied: “I respect children. What’s more, I love children. I understand I’ll go to the mental hospital or a prison. But I want to go to the cockpit.” She was told her demand was “senseless”.
As the crew sought to make her dress, she replied: “Please go away from me. Kill me here, but I will smoke.” She was urged to “calm down”, but repeated to the crew to “leave me alone” and “let me go”.
