Yesterday, a fight broke out between two female passengers onboard a Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) flight. Things got so heated that both the ladies, who were traveling on the business class flight, were removed from the plane following their scuffle.

According to eyewitness accounts and officials from ASF, one middle-aged woman, who was boarding the flight, started yelling at another young woman at the entrance of the plane. She then proceeded to attack the younger lady inside the plane. The reasons were not clear as to how the fight started.

According to people present in the plane, the middle-aged woman launched an assault and allegedly tore the clothes of the 20-year old victim. She beat her and horrifyingly enough, even got her hands on a glass object from a trolley in the plane, attacking the victim with it.
