Bitey passenger sinks enamel into flight attendant after combating lady over ‘BO’
The smell of body odour allegedly started an almighty row between two women sat in the same area of an aeroplane – as two cabin crew members and two other passengers had to break up the fight
A crazed passenger allegedly sank her teeth into a flight attendant who was trying to stop the woman from fighting another female traveller. The fight allegedly started over the smell of body odour and perfume as the plane prepared for take-off from Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport in China on Tuesday.
Shenzhen Airlines staff rushed to the right-side row where the fighting passengers were sat. Two men in the row behind tried to help stop the fight that had gotten out of control.
During the ruckus, a cabin crew member was allegedly bitten on the arm by one of the women, and another passenger was also scratched. Both of the women were taken away by police.
The fight and caused a two-hour delay on the Shenzhen Airlines flight, which eventually departed for Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport at 7.56pm.
Shenzhen Airlines has launched an investigation. The airline has been asked for comment.
Last month, a jam-packed holiday flight was diverted from Britain to Athens while on its way to Egypt after a woman in her late 40s was “unruly.”
The Wizz Air flight took off from Gatwick to the Red Sea resort of Hurghada, with the passenger said to be drinking for most of the flight, according to eyewitnesses.
While flight crew tried to calm her down, she was swearing while swapping seats with another passenger. One passenger, 58-year-old Michael Hands said: “It was absolute bedlam, I’ve never seen anything like it.
“This woman had clearly been drinking all flight and maybe the crew shouldn’t have carried on serving her as it probably led to her kicking off.
“She was sitting behind me and then she moved seat but she wasn’t happy and started arguing with the cabin crew. By this point we were two hours into the flight and somewhere over Greece and she kept saying ‘Call the police, call the police’.”
He added: “To be fair to the crew they did their best but in the end it just got too much and the captain came on the tannoy and said: ‘If the unruly passenger doesn’t return to her seat in two minutes we are making an emergency landing.
“Of course, there was some booing and jeering at the woman, but nothing happened and in the end we landed at Athens and the police came onboard and took her off – much to everyone’s delight.”
