Footage shows chaos on board UK Ryanair flight as ‘brawl sparked by crying baby sees
Dramatic footage shows the chaos onboard a British Ryanair flight after a fight sparked by a crying baby broke out.
Police were called after a fight broke out between two passengers on the flight, understood to be flight FR1882, on August 12.
Footage taken on the plane, which was flying from London Stansted to Lisbon, showed multiple children wailing as dozens of people shouted over each other.
One mother was seen trying to console her child, telling them: ‘It’s okay, it’s okay. We’re going now.’
One man appeared to restrain another in front of the mother trying to console her young child.
Local media reported that tempers only flared when the plane landed in Lisbon and headed for the gate.
Because police were called to deal with the escalating tensions, everyone onboard was held on the plane for roughly an hour.
The Daily Mail has contacted Ryanair for comment.
Earlier this month, a young man caused a two-hour flight delay after he was escorted off a Ryanair plane by six cops for allegedly vaping in the toilet.

The 21-year-old was removed after being accused of committing an aviation offence.
Footage of the incident was captured by fellow passenger Tristan James Walker captured after he claims the toilet smoke alarm was set off.
The incident took place at Edinburgh Airport on a Ryanair plane heading to Alicante, Spain.
According to Mr Walker, 39, the flight was set to depart at 9.45am only for it to be allegedly delayed due to staff sickness.
After the alarm sounded, the pilot is said to have informed the 21-year-old ‘vaper’ he would be removed from the plane.
Mr Walker said that at least six officers boarded the aircraft to remove the man, who was taken into a van.
Police confirmed the 21-year-old was charged in connection with an aviation offence.
