A man who was restrained on a Jet2 flight by fellow travellers after he allegedly assaulted another passenger and cabin crew, has died.

Police were called to reports of a passenger attacking another customer and a staff member on the Jet2 flight from Cyprus to Manchester and being "disruptive and aggressive" in the early hours of Monday.

On landing at Manchester Airport, officers used handcuffs to detain Callum Kerr, 35, of Warrington, but quickly found he was "unresponsive" and performed CPR on him before taking him to hospital, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said.

Kerr, a bare-knuckle fighter, died on Tuesday. An investigation into his death is under way.

Paying tribute, Kerr's loved ones paid tribute to him saying: "Callum was a family man, father to three beautiful young children, a lover of sport and with a heart of gold."

GMP said it had made a mandatory referral to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) due to police coming into contact with Kerr prior to his death.

The force said officers were called shortly before 02:30 BST on Monday to reports of a man behaving aggressively towards passengers and crew on an inbound flight travelling from Larnaca to Manchester, and an assault of a passenger and a member of cabin crew.

Officers boarded the aircraft on its arrival and located Kerr, who was being restrained by passengers and aircrew at the rear of the plane.
