Nasty Brawl Breaks Out Onboard With Passengers Throwing Trash At Biting Assailant

A four-hour flight from Turkey to England turned into an eight-hour journey after the plane had to make an unexpected stop in Bulgaria to dump off an unruly passenger.

An Onboard Brawl With Punching, Biting, And Throwing Trash Forces Diversion

A fight broke out onboard a Jet2 flight from Antalya Airport (AYT) to Leeds Bradford Airport (LBA) and it quickly turned violent. Jet2 is a British budget carrier based in Leeds that offers a mix of scheduled and charter services.

Two passengers are captured on video in the midst of a tussle, though a man in a striped shirt seems to be the instigator. Another man tries to push him away, but they end up exchanging blows. As the other man puts the striped shirt man into a headlock, he is bitten on the neck.

Meanwhile, another passenger throws trash (or what appears to be a bottle) at the striped shirt man.
