Overview

• A Ryanair flight from the UK to Spain was forced to make an emergency landing in Portugal due to a mid-air brawl involving a group of passengers.
• The brawl involved seven passengers, seemingly drunk, who were bothering female passengers on the flight.
• One of the stewards tried to intervene but was knocked over, leading the captain to issue a warning and eventually divert the flight to Portugal.
• One man, initially exiting the plane voluntarily, re-boarded and was forcibly removed by the police in a headlock.
• The plane finally reached its intended destination in the Canary Islands several hours late.
