Shocking footage has emerged of two men attempting to brawl in the middle of a flight to Turkey.
Carl James, 38, from Dartford, UK, captured the footage on a flight which was scheduled to travel to Antalya, Turkey, from London Gatwick, but was forced to divert to Athens, Greece on October 1.
In the video, two men are seen shouting and swearing at each other whilst the captain was pleading with them to calm down over the PA system.
After contacting easyJet a spokesperson said: ‘easyJet can confirm that flight EZY8558 from Antalya to London Gatwick on 1 October diverted to Athens and was met by police after landing due to a passenger behaving disruptively onboard.
‘easyJet’s cabin crew are trained to assess and evaluate all situations and to act quickly and appropriately to ensure that the safety of the flight and other passengers is not compromised at any time.
‘Whilst such incidents are rare, we take them very seriously and do not tolerate disruptive behaviour onboard. The safety and wellbeing of passengers and crew is always easyJet’s highest priority.’
