This is the ugly moment a fierce brawl broke out in the aisle of a London-bound passenger jet.
The pilot was reportedly forced to make an emergency landing after a fight between two men kicked off on the Middle East Airlines flight from Beirut.
Footage shows a crowd of people talking in the aisle of the plane before the two men appear to launch into a tussle with one another.
Passengers and cabin crew can be heard shrieking with fear as one of the men seems to repeatedly hit the other older man.
The older man then staggers backwards and his shirt is tugged upwards exposing bare skin before staff manage to break up the fight, pulling both men away.
The footage shows how the two men were then separated and taken to opposite ends of the plane.
Passengers appear to be left stunned as they watch the scene unfolding in front of them.
The plane was forced to make an emergency stop in Istanbul, Turkey, because of the fight, the Mail Online reported.
The mid-air fight reportedly took place on Wednesday during a flight from Rafic Hariri International Airport in Beirut.
The footage was posted on YouTube by Mike Berry. Another person, called Anastasis Z. claimed she was on the plane and said the plane landed in Istanbul where the crew were met with four security guards for back-up.
She claimed flight attendents were also pushed as they tried to intervene in the brawl.
Middle East Airlines have been contacted by the Standard for comment.
