BIZARRE footage shows a beggar holding up a Qatar Airways flight by asking passengers for money.
The middle-aged man was filmed holding out a plastic pouch and asking for help even after cabin crew ask him to sit down.
At least one man is seen leaning across the middle seats to try and hand the begging man some cash.
The flight from Doha to Iran's Shiraz International Airport is reported to have been delayed by several minutes.
A clip of the beggar arguing with airline staff was uploaded onto social media where it has been viewed thousands of times.
In it, a female crew member is seen approaching the man and trying to calm him down in front of shocked passengers.
"Sir, please have a seat," . "I understand you, sir, but we're about to take off.'
As two more uniformed workers approach him, someone else is seen handing him money too.
Qatar has since confirmed the man was a paying passenger and had not sneaked onto the aircraft.
