Daiana Andreas Rivera, 33, lashed out at police officers at Heathrow Airport after she was reported for being drunk and disorderly at the Wetherspoon’s Flying Chariot pub in Terminal 2.
Ms Rivera was planning to fly home to Madrid, Spain, after being made homeless from her place in London, The Sun reported.
However she became increasingly disruptive when she could not find her passport and turned aggressive towards officers after being told she could not board her flight.
The ballerina has performed in Romeo and Juliet, Copelia and Swan Lake for dance company Danza SXXI and has starred in Spain’s renowned Victor Ullate Ballet Company.
