A Jet2 flight from Antalya, Turkey, to Leeds, England, turned into a nightmare when two passengers started a fight on board. As the conflict escalated, the plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Bulgaria, reports the "New York Post".
Headbutting and attempting to bite
In a video of the incident that appeared on TikTok, a man in a striped shirt can be seen attacking another passenger. Despite attempts by the crew and other travelers to intervene, the aggressor continued with headbutts and tried to bite the opponent, reminiscent of the well-known incident involving Mike Tyson.
The situation became so serious that the crew decided to land in Sofia, Bulgaria, handing the aggressive passengers over to local authorities.
A four-hour journey turned into eight
The video of the brawl caused a stir on social media. Users commented on the extraordinary brutality of the event and joked about the situation. One person wrote: "You know it's the UK when people use headbutts," while another questioned: "How is it possible that the big guys standing behind the aggressors couldn't separate them?"
As a result of the entire situation, the flight, which was supposed to last a little over four hours, extended to eight, causing significant inconvenience for the other passengers.
