A 79-year-old woman was escorted off a flight by armed police in Turkey after a dispute over a "frozen" tuna sandwich, according to a report.

The incident unfolded on November 3, on a flight from London Stansted Airport to Bodrum, Turkey on a Jet2 flight.

The woman, known as Lily, ordered a £9 ($11.43) tuna sandwich, but refused to pay for it after discovering it was frozen in the middle, according to the BBC.

The airline insisted on payment because she had opened the sandwich, which then further escalated the situation.

After landing, Lily and her daughter were met by four armed police officers who escorted them off the plane.

"I was in shock, I was saying to people, 'I think I've been arrested over a sandwich'.".

While no charges were filed, Lily's daughter sent a formal complaint to Jet2, criticizing their behavior and handling of the situation. »
