Flight forced to make emergency landing following fight among passengers; four passengers arrested

MELBOURNE: A flight was forced to make an emergency landing following misbehaviour on the part of the passengers. The flight, which was travelling from Queensland to the Northern Territory of Australia, was forced to make an emergency landing following a fight among some passengers. The flight made the emergency landing after the crew members failed to resolve the issue, reports said. The incident took place yesterday afternoon.

The footage of the incident is circulating on social media. The video shows a group of passengers standing near the aisle and one of them holding a glass bottle to strike another passenger. The passengers were also seen beating and kicking each other.

According to reports, the flight was forced to make two emergency landings following the fight. It made the first emergency landing in Queensland after a brawl took place among the passengers. A female passenger was removed and charged with disorderly behaviour on an aircraft, common assault and failing to comply with safety instructions by cabin crew. After the flight took off again, another dispute broke out among the passengers. This resulted in a conflict and a window was smashed. Following this, the plane made an emergency landing once again.

Meanwhile, the police said that four passengers were arrested. The police have also launched an investigation into the incident.

Departing Cairns today..

Just someone trying to glass someone.

More fighting amongst themselves. Complete disregard for other passengers and the plane. I wonder if there were any consequences. #VoteNO 🇦🇺 #VoiceToParliament pic.twitter.com/v5iKWbWRtM
