Two separate plane brawls broke out last week during a flight in Australia, prompting an emergency landing according to the New York Post.
The incidents reportedly occurred the evening of April 20. The airline was flying from Queensland to the Northern Territory.
Four people were arrested due to the brawls, including two women.
After the first fight broke out, the plane was forced to fly back to Queensland after a group of deranged passengers started a violent fight. A woman was removed from the flight and charged.
Once the flight made another takeoff to its scheduled destination, another fight broke out involving the same individuals excluding the first woman. A window was smashed as a result of the fight.
A fellow passenger captured footage of one of the brawls. One alleged perpetrator can be be seen swinging a bottle and possibly striking another passenger.
