Another day, another airplane fight…
An Aeroflot passenger was caught on video in a heated argument with crew members — purportedly over a missing cellphone.
The man, who according to the airline had been drinking on the flight from Moscow to Tel Aviv, had to be restrained by another passenger when he got violent toward the steward, shouting at him and attempting to punch him, Metro reported.

The fight reportedly broke out after the man thought he lost his phone and blamed the airline, though he later found the phone in his possession, according to Metro.
While the passenger is shouting in Russian, Metro reports that at one point he yells, “Where did you put it? I will f--k you up.”

A spokesperson for Aeroflot told Fox News the angry passenger had ignored “written warnings from the captain regarding his disruptive behavior” and that upon arrival in Tel Aviv, he was handed over to Israeli police.

“Under new amendments to the Russian Transport Code that came into effect in June, Aeroflot has the right to blacklist disruptive passengers and ban them from all Aeroflot flights for up to a year.”
