Moment ‘boozy’ Brit couple throw punches at each other on Ryanair shuttle bus

After one too many drinks and an international flight, a couple have gone toe-to-toe on-board a bus, swinging punches and leaving others screaming.

A pair of alcohol-fuelled British tourists were filmed fighting on a shuttle bus at Alicante airport after having a few too many drinks on their Ryanair flight, passengers claim.

Holiday-makers on the flight from Birmingham were horrified when the man and woman – alleged to be a new couple – began throwing violent punches at each other’s heads after an almighty lovers’ tiff.

Shocking footage from the scene shows the couple interlocked in various positions and pummelling each other as the shuttle bus transports them to Alicante’s arrivals terminal at around 10pm local time.

Fellow passengers scream and look on in disbelief as, initially, the woman straddles the man and repeatedly punches him in the head and then the pair switch roles.

A woman springs forward to break the pair up as the man falls backwards, his legs helplessly waving in the air as he grabs onto the woman’s cream coat for support.

In another clip, the “boozy” pair exchange blows – they can barely stand as they grab onto metal poles to steady themselves.

The man – clad in green – then repeatedly swings for the woman before she screams and covers her face.

One stunned eyewitness said the woman told her she and the man were on holiday together – despite being in a “very fresh relationship”.

The bizarre moment a British man and woman have an all-out-brawl on an airport shuttle bus in Alicante, Spain.

‘TYPICAL BRITS ABROAD’

The passenger, who was also on the Ryanair flight from Birmingham, described the brutal fight as “shocking and mortifying”.

She admitted that she “found the thing embarrassing”, adding: “I just thought to myself – ‘oh, he we go, typical Brits abroad’.

“We think that they had gotten drunk on the flight over to Alicante, and then things had just exploded on the shuttle bus.

“I think they were having a domestic that got so heated it became violent, and that one of them just touched a nerve – I think she lashed out first.

“We have no idea what they’d argued about, but when it kicked off things escalated so quickly we couldn’t imagine what had been said.

“At various points, one or the other was sat on top of the other punching them in the head, and people intervened to break it off.

“I mean, they were really going for it – landing proper punches at each other.”

Talk about a lovers’ tiff.

According to witnesses, the Brits were locked inside the shuttle bus after several successful attempts by other passengers to separate the two.

It is thought police had been called, but it’s unclear whether the pair were reprimanded for their disgraceful behaviour.

Passengers say the man scarpered as soon as the shuttle bus’s doors opened – with some holiday-makers reporting seeing him sitting alone on a bench in the arrivals terminal.

A Ryanair spokesman said: “The crew of this flight from Birmingham to Alicante (26 Oct) requested police assistance upon arrival after several passengers became disruptive. This is now a matter for local police.”
