Two passengers on a Middle Eastern flight bound for London squared off inside the cabin forcing the plane to make an emergency landing.
Footage captured by a passenger, who can only be identified as "Mike Berry" on Youtube posted a video of an argument between the two passengers which soon erupted into a full-on fistfight with both men throwing punches at each other.
The fight forced the London-bound flight to make an unexpected stop in Istanbul where it made an emergency landing. The fight was between an elderly man and a much younger adult with the latter seen beating the old man repeatedly until other passengers and flight attendants decided to step in and break the fight up.
According to Daily Mail, the fight occurred on a Middle Eastern flight which came from Beirut, Lebanon and was on its way to London. The same report has also tried to reach the flag carrier of Lebanon to follow up on the incident but to no avail.
