A shocking video shows the moment a family attacked a woman after she complained that a young boy was persistently kicking her seat throughout their 3-hour 47-minute flight.
When the China Southern Airlines flight CZ6164 landed, chaos erupted when the family reportedly surrounded the woman and physically confronted her, insisting she should have more empathy because ‘he’s only a child.’
The incident occurred on 7 August after the flight from Shenzhen to Dalian, and is now under investigation by the Dalian Airport Public Security Bureau.
Passengers reported that the boy, seated directly behind the woman, repeatedly kicked her seat during the flight. Despite multiple warnings, he persisted.
Later, while walking down the aisle, he is said to have deliberately bumped into her, sending her headphones to the floor.
A fellow passenger captured video of the violent aftermath inside the cabin, following the plane’s landing.
In the footage, the woman shouts: ‘Call the police! You’re going too far!’ as she is shoved and pulled to the ground.
In response, a member of the boy’s family can be heard yelling: ‘He’s just a child! Can’t you be understanding?’
Other passengers and cabin crew attempted to intervene, but they were pushed aside as the woman remained grounded, clutching her belongings.
Witnesses say the boy’s parents and older sister joined in the assault.
His father shoved the woman, his mother yelled at her, and his sister pulled her hair.
China Southern Airlines confirmed the incident, stating that crew members helped manage the situation and that the police were called and are now handling the matter.
Authorities at Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport confirmed the case is under investigation but offered no further details.
In a separate incident, a fight, sparked by a crying baby, broke out on a British Ryanair flight.
A video taken by witnesses shows several children crying and people yelling over each other.
Meanwhile, in June, a woman had to be tied up mid-air after demanding a business class upgrade.
In bizarre footage, she was seen grabbing her breasts and yelling: ‘I’m in pain in my butt and my t**s.
