He slapped and made noise: social networks were shocked by a man who got into a fight on board

A fight broke out between a passenger and flight attendants on a Boeing 737, which was joined by a bystander, journalists reported. It became so noisy on board that the crew decided to get rid of the culprit of the scandal.

The Briton was traveling to the island of Tenerife, located 3 thousand km from the UK, but did not reach his destination. When the Boeing 737 was at an altitude of up to 10 km, the man decided to light a cigarette. The flight attendants tried to stop him, but in the end "earned" a slap in the face.

Journalists were interested in the incident, which was reported on the Canal 4 Tenerife TV channel. As it turned out, due to a "terrible catastrophe in the air" they had to urgently land the flight, which was heading from the UK to a Spanish resort island in the Atlantic Ocean. The "terrible catastrophe" was a fight that was started by a drunk passenger. Witnesses recorded details of the incident on video. The incident turned out to involve two men who were swinging their fists and a group of Ryanair employees.

The video shows a man in a black shirt reaching for a locker above the passenger seats. Around him are half a dozen stewards who grab his arms and try to stop him. At one point, the man swings his arm and slaps one of the stewards. After that, another passenger in a gray shirt gets up and hits the first person in the face. Meanwhile, you can hear the reactions of those around him: they first watch the incident, then shout and honk during the exchange of slaps and blows.

On social networks X (Twitter) and Facebook, almost 300 comments and 1,500 reactions appeared under the messages about the fight on the plane. Some citizens complained about the airline, to which they had certain remarks. Others recalled the checks before the flight, which for some reason did not find a drunk man. There was also criticism of the British, who are considered to be very unpleasant tourists, who have flooded the resorts of Spain.
