Passengers tended to a member of the cabin crew with a head wound on a Thai Air flight.

The fliers who were doctors and nurses were asked to help out when the flight attendant was injured when he hit his head on the hat rack while trying to open a liquor bottle.

Caring passengers rushed to help the man onboard the Boeing 777 flying from Bangkok, Thailand, to London Heathrow, on March 5.

Footage shows the women assisting the dazed airline worker Supakit Promthep. One of them held a lamp over the man while the doctor stitched his wounds.

One of the passengers Arkarin Matthew Hongdokmai said the cabin worker was startled when the bottle's cork popped off.

He said: ‘The crew made an announcement asking for passengers who were doctors or nurses. He was given anaesthetic to help with the pain of stitching.'
