Women fight on plane in mid-flight brawl over loud music caught on video

A brawl broke out between five women during a flight after two reportedly drunk passengers started playing loud music.

The incident took place just as a Spirit Airlines flight from Baltimore landed in Los Angeles, LA Times reported.

Other passengers reportedly asked the pair to turn down the volume, which they refused to do, before lifting the speakers on their boombox into the air and reportedly saying: "What are you going to do?"

An onlooker caught the fight on video, which shows the women pulling each other's hair and throwing punches.

Fellow passengers and flight crew were quickly able to separate the women.

LAX airport police met the flight crew when the plane landed, Officer Rob Pedregon said.

Mr Pedregon said the five women involved in this "mutual combat situation" were taken off the plane.

Police said one of the combatants was charged.
