This is the shocking moment an EasyJet passenger put a man in a headlock and repeatedly slapped him in an apparent row over snacks being dropped on the floor.
The intense brawl broke out during a flight from London Stansted to Amsterdam, with tensions already high after a two-hour delay due to bad weather.
Shocking footage shows how a stronger, older passenger flew off the handle and started to attack the younger man for allegedly dropping his crisps and other snacks around him.
The newly emerged clip shows the broad-shouldered, older man holding the shorter, younger passenger in a tight headlock in the plane’s aisle – and giving him a hard slap round the face.
He then pushes him hard on his chest so he falls back into his row, knocking over one of his two friends stood up behind him to try to intervene.
Witnesses said the young man had been told off by the other passenger for his untidiness which caused the three lads to throw a few insults his way, starting the brawl.
One of the lad’s friends, stood up behind him in the row, tries to break things up, shouting loudly and firmly, ‘Calm down, calm down!’, holding one hand up in peace and using the other to try to loosen the man’s grip on his mate’s neck.
Equally, the passenger immediately next to the attacker in his row can be seen trying to calmly de-escalate things too.

He puts a firm hand on the man’s shoulder, seemingly to discourage him from further violence – but loses his grip as the enraged passenger goes in for the slap.
Their peaceful interventions were apparently no match for the around 6ft tall attacker, blinded by his fury.
In the background, a passenger can be heard pressing an alert bell for cabin crew to come to the fight at the front of plane in the clip from December last year.
Nearby passengers watched on in a near daze, with many stood up and turned round to see what the commotion was about.
One can be heard to find the scrap rather thrilling, whispering quietly, ‘Bang him!’.
But another man in the row in front of the young lad finally manages to take things down a notch.
He puts his arm across the lad’s chest to encourage him not to retaliate before exiting his own row to place himself between the brawlers.
