Brawling KLM passengers 'throw punches in rammy' on flight to Amsterdam

Passengers onboard a KLM flight from Manchester to Amsterdam have been arrested after an alleged rammy broke out, while others urged them to 'behave'.

The crew onboard the KLM flight bound for the Dutch capital had to intervene to stop an alleged brawl between two 'unruly' groups of passengers on May 5, the airline claims.

In a video, which has been widely shared on Twitter, astonished passengers can be heard shouting 'stop', 'behave' and 'this is an aircraft' while a man appears to be beaten, Manchester Evening News reports.

A group of men appear to take turns throwing punches at the man, while stunned cabin crew members stepped in.

At the beginning of the video, a woman can be seen trying to stop the row, while at another point a man sitting close to the conflict tries to pull one member of the group away.

A woman sat nearby later tries to split the crowd up, shouting 'that is enough'.

At the end of the clip, the man appears to shout back at the group while being held by a member of staff.

KLM says its cabin crew and captain 'put an end' to the brawl, before everyone involved was arrested as they arrived at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport.

A spokesperson for KLM said: "Yesterday we had some unruly passengers on our KLM 1070 flight from Manchester to Amsterdam. The captain and cabin crew put an end to a brawl between two groups of passengers.

"All involved were arrested upon arrival at Schiphol Airport. No delay occurred.

"KLM does not tolerate aggression against employees or passengers. We apologise to our passengers who may have been affected by the incident."
