Violent fight filmed breaking out on plane after ‘one passenger touches another’

A disturbing video shows how an ugly air rage fight broke out on a Russian flight.

The punch-up came soon after the aircraft landed in Moscow having flown from the Black Sea resort Sochi.

It was triggered when one male passenger got up from his seat and rushed towards the door.

Witnesses said he crashed into seated passengers on the Ural Airlines Airbus A320, where social distancing measures were in place.

“Almost immediately after landing, he jumped up and headed for the exit,” said passenger Marina P.

“He walked quickly between the rows, crashing into seated people.

“One man told him ‘Watch out!’"

The verbal intervention led to an angry exchange between the two men.

"Flight attendants tried to calm them but it didn’t help much,” Marina told Komsomolskaya Pravda.

“Those two were so aggressive that other passengers were simply afraid to go near them.”

In footage of the incident flight crew are seen looking on during the foul-mouthed brawl as fists flew.

Russian news agency Tass reported that a seated passenger had been angered after he was “touched” by the man seeking to leave the plane.

The aircraft’s captain called police to the plane at Moscow’s Domodedovo airport.

The pair were taken into custody, the transport department of the Russian Interior Ministry said.
