Ex-'General Hospital' Star Booted Off Airplane -- Arrested for Public Intoxication

Former "General Hospital" star Senait Ashenafi is the passenger from hell -- TMZ has learned, she was arrested at a Dallas airport for public intoxication last weekend ... after allegedly raising a drunken ruckus on board an airplane.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, 46-year-old Ashenafi was arrested at DFW airport when police determined she was so drunk ... she was a danger to herself and others.

Sources on board the airplane tell us, Ashenafi threw a fit while everyone was boarding because she was stuck in coach ... instead of first class.

We're told she was also pissed her carry-on luggage had been relegated to the back of the plane due to limited overhead space.

According to the police report, Ashenafi allegedly even pushed a flight attendant during her temper tantrum.

The airplane's crew kicked Ashenafi off the aircraft and cops met her on the jetway. According to the report, they immediately noticed the smell of alcohol on Ashenafi's breath.

Officers then escorted her off the jetway and placed her under arrest for public intoxication.
