The terrifying video was captured by another passenger on the Portland to Sacramento Southwest Airlines flight.

According to KOIN6, the woman had been caught smoking a cigarette and tampering with the smoke detector in the aircraft's bathroom.

The airline explained that crew dealt with the woman until she was met by police when the plane landed.

Southwest explained: 'Our crew in command of Flight 2943 travelling from Portland on Saturday afternoon safely landed on-time in Sacramento following an in-flight disturbance.

'Our reports from flight attendants indicate a customer violated federal laws by both smoking on board an aircraft and by tampering with a smoke detector in an aircraft restroom.

'Our crew enforced the regulation and that was followed by the passenger outburst.
