An Australian man was removed from a plane in the Philippines by police after slapping a passenger, sparking a dramatic aisle fight.
As officers took him away, he appeared to challenge another driver in a “one-on-one” on the track.
The man, who began his journey in Perth, Australia, allegedly insulted other passengers and “demanded drinks” from the flight crew.
Shocking video recorded by airmen on the Scoot flight captured the fight and subsequent screams from other travelers.
The drama began when the man boarded a flight from Perth to Singapore, but intensified when he transferred in Singapore to Scoot flight TR396 bound for the Philippine capital.
A person who was on both flights with the Australian told Western Australia newspaper, was already causing a stir in the Singapore section.

According to the passenger, the Australian had been on a verbal tirade for “hours” on the flight to Manila.
“It was loud and rowdy, so we changed seats,” he said.
When the flight landed, the passenger appeared to confront a man who was filming him.
“The (Australian) slapped him very hard and then it all started,” said the witness.
The slap was so hard that you can see the other passenger’s cap fly off.
This passenger then rushed into the aisle and the couple struggled, while another person can be heard yelling “stop fighting.”
“As soon as he fell, a couple more guys kicked him to the ground,” the witness said.
“The flight attendants were stressed. “A couple of guys and stewardesses tied his arms and legs and waited for the police to arrive.”
