Watch: Fistfight breaks out on Spirit Airlines flight into Boston

The participants have reportedly been banned from traveling with Spirit in the future.

Multiple people were recorded exchanging blows on a Spirit Airlines flight to Boston.

Video of the fight was posted online by Boston 25 News.

A flight attendant can be seen trying to break up the altercation. In another clip, two people punch each other before falling onto some of the plane’s seats as onlookers tell them to stop the violence.

The flight departed from Myrtle Beach, S.C., around 9:40 p.m. Tuesday and landed in Boston just before midnight, according to 25 News. The fight broke out just after the plane touched down at Logan Airport.

The passengers involved were reportedly banned from future Spirit flights. State Police troopers responded, but the man identified as the victim did not want to press charges.
