The passenger reportedly had to be restrained by a former police officer and two others on the flight before he was taken to a jump seat, usually reserved for cabin crew.
He remained supervised for the remainder of the flight, with the journey continuing as normal to England.
One passenger told the Independent: ‘There was serious racist abuse to an air steward, as well as threatening behaviour. Many people on board were frightened and distressed.’
