Fist fight breaks out between passengers on flight to India after heated argument

Two passengers on a Kolkata-bound flight from Bangkok came to blows after an argument over seatbelts escalated.

A video of the incident, taken by another passenger on the plane, has since gone viral.

Two people can be seen having a heated verbal row onboard low-cost carrier Thai Smile Airways, telling each other to “sit down quietly” and “put your hand down” while a frantic flight attendant tried to defuse the argument.

However, the argument escalated and resulted in an embarrassing fist fight inside the plane.

The incident happened on 27 December.
