A Ryanair plane bound for London Stansted was forced to make an emergency landing after a “mass brawl” between passengers.
Just 36 minutes after its takeoff from Agadir, Morocco, the aircraft was diverted to Marrakesh when the passengers fought and screamed at each other.
It started when a man, thought to be in his late 20s, asked another passenger to move so he could sit with his wife and young children.
The woman, who was sitting with her own daughter, reportedly refused to budge – prompting the thug to start threatening her.
The flight took off with no problems, but as soon as the seat belt signs came off, the passenger’s husband, understood to be in his 30s, is said to have jumped to his wife’s defence.
Punches were reportedly thrown between the two men while Ryanair staff attempted to intervene.
The pilots decided to divert to Marrakech to land as quickly as possible.
