THIS is the shocking moment a fight broke out between passengers on an American Airlines flight moments after it landed.
The brawl between two men is thought to have broken out over a reclined seat that got stuck.
One passenger, who was not identified, said: “When the plane finally landed in Austin and the seatbelt sign was turned off, both men jumped up and physically started fighting each other.”
Police were called onto the plane to escort the men off the plane and confirmed both had been detained.
It is unclear if either was arrested.
