A passenger who had reportedly missed his flight – and who may have been intoxicated on St. Patrick’s Day – went on a rampage in Dublin airport terminal 1 today. The topless man, with face partially obscured, went about smashing structures and hurling objects around the terminal.

The man apparently was intoxicated when he arrived at the terminal. Ryanair’s CEO wants passengers limited to two drinks at the airport, presumably so he doesn’t face competition selling them booze on board. Here two more drinks probably wouldn’t have made things worse.
Airport Police took the man into custody, charged him, and he’s scheduled to appear at the Criminal Courts of Justice in Dublin. Similar incidents, of course, happen on this side of the Pond, too.
