The video of the mid-air fight is going viral on the internet.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

During a flight from Cairns to the Northern Territory of Australia, four passengers were arrested after a fight that prompted an emergency landing. News.com.au <\/a>reported that Australian Federal Police (AFP) and NT Police confirmed that charges were laid during an unnamed flight from Queensland to the Northern Territory on Thursday.<\/p>\n

An AFP spokesperson told the outlet, “The AFP was called to attend an incident on a flight from Cairns to Groote Eylandt, which had caused the flight to be turned around, on Thursday, April 20.”<\/p>\n

The video which is going viral on the internet shows a group of passengers standing near the aisle. Footage shows a passenger holding a glass bottle above their head, apparently to strike another passenger.<\/p>\n

Departing Cairns today..<\/p>\n

Just someone trying to glass someone.<\/p>\n

More fighting amongst themselves. Complete disregard for other passengers and the plane. I wonder if there were any consequences. #VoteNO<\/a> ???????? #VoiceToParliament<\/a>pic.twitter.com\/v5iKWbWRtM<\/a><\/p>\n

When the incident took place, it prompted the flight to turn back to Queensland where a woman was charged.<\/p>\n

“A female passenger was removed and charged with disorderly behaviour on an aircraft, common assault and failing to comply with safety instructions by cabin crew,” the spokesperson told News.com.au.<\/p>\n

When the flight took off again, the same group got into an argument that resulted in a fight and a smashed window.<\/p>\n

Once the plane landed in Alyangula on Groote Eylandt, off the east coast of the Northern Territory, three passengers were arrested by NT Police.<\/p>\n

A 23-year-old man was charged with intentionally endangering the safety of others, aggravated assault, damage to property, disorderly behaviour in a public place, and contravening a domestic violence order.<\/p>\n

The three passengers are expected to face the Darwin Local Court on Monday.<\/p>\n
