THIS is the shocking moment two men were filmed throwing punches at each other on a Japanese plane – ending in the arrest of a “boozed-up” American traveller.
Footage posted on Twitter by a fellow flyer shows flight attendants desperately trying to break up the brawling pair in front of horrified passengers.
One passenger can be heard yelling: “Someone help! This guy is crazy.”
Others can be heard begging the men to stop as a baby screams in the background.
The red-shirted man is then escorted away by staff as the other man looks on yelling: “Get this guy off this plane.”
But moments later, the man in the red shirt returns to continue his feud with the guy in the black top.
The comment provokes him to return as the pair trade more wild blows.
It is unclear why the punch-up took place.
The incident took place at Tokyo’s Narita Airport just before 6pm on Monday on Flight NH6, which was about to depart for Los Angeles, New York Post reported.
The passenger who posted the video @CoreyHour tweeted: “So, ten minutes before take-off a passenger starts a huge fight in his row. I get in between him and flight attendants, but he won’t 1v1 me.
“He yells, ‘You think I’m crazy? What about the government!’ Then exits the plane. 1.5 hours later and we finally take off.
The flight had already been delayed due to unstable weather conditions.
@CoreyHour added: “For the record ANA staff and passengers handled the situation with grace and respect. They did the best they could to diffuse the situation.”
After leaving the plane, the 44-year-old American man allegedly choked a male employee, Japan Today reported.
The American passenger was allegedly drunk and started acting in an unruly manner, Fuji TV reported.
Deeming him a potential safety threat, the airline asked him to disembark before take-off.
But he resisted and hit a female passenger, Japan Today reported.
He was was arrested and charged with assault,
An ANA airline spokesperson told The Sun Online: “All Nippon Airways apologies to our passengers on Flight#6 to Los Angeles for the pre-flight incident.
“The individuals involved have been dealt with appropriately by local law enforcement.”
