Passenger starts fist fight on plane

Passenger starts fist fight on plane

An American traveller has been slapped with assault charges after allegedly brawling with another passenger on Japanese airline ANA.

Video footage of the man getting physical with another male passenger has now come to light, with The New York Post reporting the incident occurred on Monday on Flight NH6, just before taking off to LA.

“This guy is crazy!” the man in black yells in the video, as a poor flight attendant tries to separate the men to no avail.

Per Japan Today, authorities said the 44-year-old American passenger, who was apparently drunk, began acting in an unruly manner.

Then, deeming him a potential safety threat, the crew requested he get off the plane, but he resisted and hit a female passenger, Japan Today reported.

According to another passenger Corey Hour, who documented the incident on Twitter (see below), the motive of the man’s anger remained a mystery, with the plane taking off 1.5 hours after it was scheduled to depart.
