Buy video

Dramatic footage has emerged of a fight breaking out on a flight to London, prompting an emergency landing.

The video, filmed on board a Middle Eastern Airlines flight from Beirut to London on Wednesday night, shows the two people having a ruck in the aisle.

According to the filmer, the alleged troublemaker, who caused the fight, was quiet after the fracas but the aircraft was diverted to Istanbul where he was escorted off the plane.

"They took him off the plane and we were delayed for a while on the ground with the pilot not saying a word until he finally said that the plane was to be filled with petrol with us on board and for everyone to switch their phones off so that the petrol vehicle can approach the plane," he wrote online.

The plane was due to land in London at 9pm but didn't end up touching down until around midnight.
