A British plane en route to Poland was forced to make an emergency landing in Germany after a 56-year-old woman spilled a hot cup of tea on herself, German police said on last week.

The Ryanair flight from Liverpool to Poznan made the unscheduled landing in the northwestern city of Bremen last week, local police said.

The British woman was treated for scalding at the airport and released - but not before the plane resumed its journey without her. She later took a train to Poland, police said.
