Police board Ryanair flight after mid-air brawl
Ryanair crew were forced to call for police assistance after a brawl broke out on a flight from Edinburgh.
Two rival groups allegedly started to fight across the aisles as the aircraft headed to Alicante last week.
Spanish police arrested four people when the 11.15am flight landed, said the Daily Mail.
A mother travelling with two young children told the Daily Record another child was hit on the head by a wine bottle as the two groups fought.
Passengers alleged those arrested were drunk.
Ryanair told the Daily Record: "We will not tolerate unruly or disruptive behaviour and the safety and comfort of our customers, crew and aircraft is our number one priority."
