Footage shows chaos on board UK Ryanair flight as 'brawl sparked by crying baby sees police called and passengers held on the plane for an hour after landing'
Police were called after a fight broke out between two passengers on the flight, understood to be flight FR1882, on August 12.
Footage taken on the plane, which was flying from London Stansted to Lisbon, showed multiple children wailing as dozens of people shouted over each other.
One mother was seen trying to console her child, telling them: 'It's okay, it's okay. We're going now.'
One man appeared to restrain another in front of the mum trying to console her young child.
Local media reported that Tempers only flared when the plane landed in Lisbon and headed for the gate.
Because police were called to deal with the escalating tensions, everyone onboard was held on the plane for roughly an hour.
The Daily Mail has contacted Ryanair for comment.
Earlier this month, a young man caused a two-hour flight delay after he was escorted off a Ryanair plane by six cops for allegedly vaping in the toilet.
The 21-year-old was removed after being accused of committing an aviation offence.
Footage of the incident was captured by fellow passenger Tristan James Walker captured after he claims the toilet smoke alarm was set off.
The incident took place at Edinburgh Airport on a Ryanair plane heading to Alicante, Spain.
According to Mr Walker, 39, the flight was set to depart at 9.45am only for it to be allegedly delayed due to staff sickness.
After the alarm sounded, the pilot is said to have informed the 21-year-old 'vaper' he would be removed from the plane.
Mr Walker said that at least six officers boarded the aircraft to remove the man, who was taken into a van.
Police confirmed the 21-year-old was charged in connection with an aviation offence.

Grooming gangs and sexual abuse statistics
John Harris is correct that sexual offending by grooming gangs in many towns and cities across England over the past 20 years or so has heightened fears about the safety of women and girls and undermined community relations (Rightwingers warn of another blaze of summer riots in Britain – but they're the ones striking the match, 10 August). This being the case, it is vital to more fully understand the grooming problem by examining it in its wider context. It seems undeniable that the on-street grooming model that has so dominated our news often involves men of Pakistani heritage. However, research by the Home Office-funded Vulnerability Knowledge and Practice Programme reveals that only 3.7% of the 115,489 child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) offences recorded by the police in England and Wales in 2023 (the most recent year for which figures are available) involved 'group-based contact offences', of which majority-Pakistani-heritage grooming gangs would have been just a part. These figures also reveal that while Asian or British Asian individuals accounted for approximately 5% of all CSAE offenders, they make up roughly 9% of the British population over the age of 16 years, ie Asians are underrepresented in statistics relating to CSAE perpetrators. Similarly, Asian or British Asian children represented 4% of CSAE victims. It could be argued then that political figures on the right and the left should be exploring why the Asian community is responsible for a disproportionately low amount of CSAE and examining what UK society might learn from Bernard GallagherVisiting fellow, Connect Centre for International Research on Interpersonal Violence and Harm, University of Central Lancashire Have an opinion on anything you've read in the Guardian today?

Teacher who sent explicit pictures to 15-year-old boy banned for life
A teacher who sent explicit pictures of herself to a 15-year-old pupil has been banned from the profession for life. Georgia Lowe, 27, was caught when 'inappropriate' notes were found by the boy's mother. Her relationship with him began with late-night email sessions using emojis and nicknames, months after she started in the role, a Teaching Regulation Agency (TRA) panel heard. When the affair came to light, Ms Lowe was suspended by the school, but she contacted the pupil again, sending him sexual images of herself, the TRA panel was told. After resigning, the teacher was found guilty of engaging in sexual communication with a child and was handed a 14-month suspended jail term, the panel heard. Ms Lowe began working as a trainee teacher at Kingsmead School, Staffordshire, in July 2021. In September that year, when she was 'responsible' for the then 15-year-old, she began emailing him as late as 10pm, the panel was told. Her messages included heart symbol emojis, would often end with a kiss, and used nicknames, the panel heard. Ms Lowe wrote to the pupil using phrases like 'make me proud', 'try not to miss me too much' and 'you've already made my day', the TRA was told. In October 2021, the boy's mother found notes she believed were from Ms Lowe and reported her concerns to the school. An investigation was launched, and Ms Lowe was suspended, the panel heard. Despite having 'a warning shot across her bows', the teacher contacted the boy again, and sent him intimate photos, the TRA was told. Ms Lowe resigned in November 2021 and was charged by the police. She initially denied the charge before changing her plead to guilty on the day of trial, the panel heard. Ms Lowe was sentenced to 14 months jail, suspended for 18 months, and was put on the Sex Offenders Register for 10 years. In his sentencing remarks, the judge said Ms Lowe committed a 'gross breach of trust' and 'used the environment in which you were working with (the pupil) to pursue what was evidently your sexual interest in him'. 'You moved on to the passing of inappropriate notes to him, and ultimately, by the end of the period that we are concerned with, matters escalated to private digital communications between you and him, including you sending him images of yourself in your underwear,' the judge said. 'The concerning aspect of your case is that after matters came to light, by his mother having found out what was going on, you were spoken to, and yet you still had another face-to-face meeting with him at school, and ultimately, when the investigation was launched and you were suspended from work, you contacted him again, and that included the sending of the images of yourself to him. 'That was a warning shot across your bows, the investigation at school, and the suspension, but you did not bring your pursuit of him to an end at that point in time.' On behalf of the Secretary of State, decision maker Marc Cavey said Ms Lowe's behaviour was 'incompatible with working as a teacher'. He decided she should be prohibited from teaching indefinitely.
