Police were called after a fight broke out in the middle of Belfast International Airport on Saturday.

The airport confirmed that a number of passengers were involved in an "altercation".

Video footage shows people involved in the fight armed with what appears to be metal poles.

They are also seen throwing objects at each other.

One witness told Belfast Live: "They started arguing in the Lagan Bar they then spilt out into the seating area and started screaming at each other.

"Four of the men grabbed mops and brushes to attack the larger group.

"Then baskets from duty free were thrown and a fire extinguisher. It lasted for a good 20 minutes.

"They were pretending the mops were guns. Police arrived and everything calmed down."

A spokeswoman from Belfast International Airport confirmed that the incident has been resolved.

She said: "An altercation between two groups of passengers occurred this evening in the airside departures area. Police were in attendance and the incident has since been resolved."
