"There were three members of cabin crew - one male and two females, but they were all Spanish so I think they struggled to understand him.
"He grabbed hold of my top and ripped it. He broke my phone and ripped my watch off my wrist.
"He bit my sister on the arm and he was about to bite me on the leg before a man and a woman came over and jumped on him.”
