A Russian rap singer and TV reality show star is facing up to five years in jail after being detained when she ‘kicked a policeman’ during an airport fracas.
Anna Mikheeva, aka Hofmannita, is accused of air rage after discovering her tickets were for the wrong dates when she tried to check in for a flight.

Anna Mikheeva, 25, is facing up to five years in jail after being detained when she ‘kicked a policeman’ during a fracas at St Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport in Russia
She accused police of ‘torture’ and twisting her arm when she was held by officials at St Petersburg’s Pulkovo Airport and told she could not fly.
‘I’m shocked,’ she blurted on videos uploaded in real time on social media during her spat with police.
Mikheeva continued: ‘I do not know what to do. I’m scared, because these people do not let me go. They twisted my arm.’
Police said she was drunk and had humiliated the ‘honour and dignity’ of an arresting officer as she kicked out.

The reality star found fame on a Russian version of Ladette to Lady and has since transformed her look to become a rap singer
She was put in police cells and is now under home arrest, say reports.
The rap singer is under investigation for hooliganism which carries a maximum five years in jail.
On another video of the incident she is seen complaining ‘it hurts me’ as she is held before an officer says: ‘Don’t break her, don’t break.’
After the policeman’s warning, Mikheeva drops to the floor and is then seen lifting her leg out towards the officer.

The men then grab her and try to move her out of what appears to be an elevator as Mikheeva says: ‘My arms hurt. Do not touch please. it hurts’.
She later accused uniformed officers of acting like ‘monsters’, telling viewers: ‘Police torture me.’
Mikheeva, from Chelyabinsk, became famous after she took part in TV reality show Patsanki 3б, the Russian version of Ladette to Lady.
The fracas is thought to have came after she arrived at the airport for a flight but found her tickets were for the following month.
