Here's similar, but not as dramatic, story. This one's from August.
all he wanted was a cigarette

A Norwegian from Sunnmoere with an incredible blood alcohol level of 3.8 per thousand went berserk on a charter flight from Aalesund to Turkey last weekend. The flight turned into a nightmare for passengers and crew, newspaper Sunnmoersposten reports.
Blood alcohol levels at 3.0 per thousand are considered on average to be so severe that the drinker can lose bladder control and pass out.
Trouble broke out when the inebriated Norwegian tried in vain to convince crew that he needed a cigarette on the red-eye Sunday flight.
"Blood flowed," passenger Arild Hestholm told the newspaper, as the drunken man became violent. The pilot took the plane down alone, sending his co-pilot to help subdue the troublemaker.
Four people were needed to restrain the man during the descent and landing, and witnesses said the drunkard screamed like a stuck pig as he tried to escape from his seat.
He was arrested upon arrival but released the following day.
"He won't be allowed on the flight back out of consideration to the other passengers. We apologize profoundly for the episode to our other passengers," said marketing chief Geir Ove Golden of Detur Norway.
