Passengers onboard a Ryanair flight from Malta to the UK were subjected to an ugly brawl before take-off.
Take-off for the flight on Monday, July 3, was delayed by two hours as a result of the scrap between two male passengers seated in the same row, the Mirror reports.
In the shocking clip, fellow passengers can be heard crying and pleading for the pair to stop while others are seen physically pulling the men apart.

One can be heard shouting: "We're never gonna get home" and "Leave it out!" while a Ryanair steward is seen trying to restrain the men with the aid of bystanders.
A video of the scrap, which can be watched here, was captured by a passenger who described what led to the explosion of tempers.
Neil Modwhadia claimed the initial argument broke out between the men after one allegedly refused to let the other pass by in order to reach his window seat.
He said: "The shorter guy on the left is American and had the window seat.
"The taller man on the right with a cap on is British and had the aisle seat.
"The British man wouldn’t let the American man pass through to get to his window seat and then some words and swears were exchanged before a scuffle broke. The flight was delayed two hours everyone was annoyed."
Ryanair released a statement on the regretful incident, saying: "Two passengers on this flight from Malta to Stansted (3 July) became disruptive ahead of take-off. Cabin crew diffused the situation before the aircraft departed safely for Stansted following a minor delay."
