Manchester - An air stewardess yesterday told a court of her terror when pop star Ian Brown threatened to chop off her hand on board a flight from Paris. The former Stone Roses frontman denies using threatening behaviour towards Ms Christine Cooper and Capt Martin Drake on a BA flight from Charles de Gaulle Airport in February. Ms Sue Beacon, prosecuting, said the 35-year-old singer threatened to chop off the hand of the stewardess after she mistakenly offered him duty-free.
