A video showing an aircrew intervening in a brawl with a drunken British passenger who was later arrested has been shared online. An irate man became violent after he and his friend were loud and abusive throughout the flight.
According to an eyewitness, the man became aggressive when he was told by a stewardess, they would be taken off the plane by police when they arrived in Greece.
The eyewitness told reporters: "It kicked off and he was just swinging punches as a group of guys tried to restrain him."
“The pilot came out and the irate guy hit him. The pilot seemed okay but was understandably pretty shaken up. It was disgraceful.”
The fight lasted several minutes before police officers dragged the blood-stained man away with his pants around his ankles.
The eyewitness said the two men had been boasting they'd been drinking in the airport since 10am.
They said: “I was surprised they even let them fly as they were being so abusive and very loud before we took off. “We daren’t complain because they were targeting everyone and telling people ‘When we get off this plane, I’m going to smash you up’.
“They were smoking cigarettes and vaping during the flight. “They kept being served alcohol despite passengers telling stewardesses they’d probably had enough and to stop.”
The passengers had to wait two hours before they could leave the airport so they could give a statement to the police.
This led to many missing their connecting flights or hotel transfers.
