Shocking footage shows the moment a man's nose was allegedly 'bitten off' during a chaotic brawl on board a Ryanair flight.

During the 30-second clip, shouts and screams from passengers can be heard as cabin crew desperately try to break the fighting men apart.

The men became involved in an altercation while travelling from Glasgow Prestwick to Tenerife South after taking off at around 6.10am on Saturday.

They can be seen throwing punches and grabbing each other as stunned passengers, including children, sit back and watch.

Towards the end of the video a man is seen being escorted down the aisle by staff with his face covered in blood.

One person said: "There were numerous occasions of drunk and disorderly behaviour leading to a man having his nose bitten off", The Scottish Sun reports.

A spokesman for Rynair said: "The crew of this flight from Glasgow Prestwick to Tenerife requested police assistance upon arrival after two passengers became disruptive in-flight.

"The aircraft landed normally and police removed and detained two individuals.

"We will not tolerate unruly or disruptive behaviour at any time and the safety and comfort of our customers, crew and aircraft is our number one priority. This is now a matter for local police.

Last month a Ryanair flight was diverted after a fight broke out when an alleged drunk man started pestering a hen party on board.

Passengers were reportedly witness to a "full fist fight" as two men started throwing blows in the aisle - causing "absolute chaos".
