Punches thrown on Southwest plane in Dallas, according to witness and video | CNN

Punches were thrown on a Southwest Airlines plane Monday in Dallas, according to a witness and video, marking the latest incident of unruly passenger behavior

Passengers bound for Phoenix were boarding Flight 117 at Dallas Love Field Airport when a man in a tan blazer confronted another man and hit him with a flurry of punches, passenger Caitlin Johnson told CNN Wednesday. “And the next thing you know he starts punching the man,” Johnson said. She said passengers jumped in to help de-escalate the situation.

“We commend our Crew for managing the situation as safety professionals while also ensuring the comfort of the other passengers in the cabin,” the airline said in a statement sent to CNN. “We don’t have further details to share, except that the flight arrived on time and as scheduled.” The Dallas Police Department told CNN in a statement Wednesday that it responded after the incident and no arrest was made.
