SFO flight 'rerouted' after passengers brawl over 'elbow placement' on armrests [View all]
Two passengers on a flight departing from San Francisco International Airport were escorted off the plane after an alleged disagreement over armrests devolved into fighting.
The incident took place on a United Airlines flight Friday at around 1:30 p.m., and was initially shared on Twitter by Google product director Jack Krawczyk, who said this incident took place on his “first flight in 15 months.” It is unclear where the flight was headed.
“Of course we were rerouted back to the gate because two passengers got into a physical altercation over elbow placement upon arm rests,” he said in a tweet. (Krawczyk did not respond to a request for comment from SFGATE.)
A San Francisco police spokesman told SFGATE that both men — who were not identified by police — were detained when an officer arrived on the scene.
