WATCH: Two men exchange blows in violent brawl on flight
Two men have been filmed exchanging blows during a violent exchange on a flight heading from Japan to US.
Video shared by Twitter user @CoreyHour, shows a passenger in a red shirt, believed to be American, punching another passenger in a black shirt, in the face and knocking his headphones off.
It's not known what started the dispute but the pair exchange blows before one of them asks for help.
The red shirted man is escorted away by staff as the other man looks on.
“Get him off the plane,” he is heard saying.
The man in the black shirt sits back down but the man in the red shirt returns moments later.
"He's coming back?" another passenger is heard asking.
With his shirt ripped, the man in red gets ready to attack again, but the man in black knocks him over.
Japan Today reports a 44-year-old American passenger on board an All Nippon Airways flight from Narita International Airport to LAX was arrested Monday night and charged with assault.
According to police and an ANA spokesperson he was deemed a potential safety threat but would not leave the plane.
It’s alleged the man was intoxicated and choked an employee.
The flight, which had already been delayed due to weather, departed one hour and 40 minutes behind schedule.
