One of the six passengers involved in the altercation was mildly injured, according to Dutch News. The incident has been confirmed by the Dutch Military Police, who is in charge of airport security, and an investigation into the six British men’s behaviour has begun.
According to The Daily Mail, the passenger who posted the video on Twitter revealed that they had just landed in Amsterdam and that the fight had been brewing the entire time, and that they almost fought halfway through the flight. The brawl between the British nationals erupted after one group made a racist remark about an Asian passenger.
