This is the moment a family attacks a woman who complained about a young boy constantly kicking her seat throughout the flight.
In the melee that followed shortly after the China Southern Airlines flight CZ6164 from Shenzhen to Dalian landed, members of the family surrounded her and attacked her, telling her she should have more understanding because "he’s only a child."
The incident happened on 7th August and is now under investigation by police from the Dalian Airport Public Security Bureau.
Witnesses said the boy, seated behind the woman, repeatedly kicked the back of her seat during the flight.
Despite several warnings, he continued, and later deliberately bumped into her while walking down the aisle, knocking her headphones to the floor.
Video recorded by another passenger shows the chaotic aftermath inside the cabin after landing.
The woman can be heard shouting: “Call the police! You’re going too far!” as she is shoved and pulled to the ground, while a voice from the boy’s family yells: “He’s just a child! Can’t you be understanding?”
The footage shows other passengers and flight attendants trying to break up the confrontation, but they are pushed back as the woman remains on the floor, clutching at her belongings.
According to witnesses, the boy’s parents and older sister joined in the assault, with the father shoving the woman, the mother yelling at her, and the sister pulling her hair.
China Southern Airlines confirmed the incident and said crew members assisted in handling the situation. They added that police were contacted and are dealing with the matter.
Police at Dalian Zhoushuizi International Airport confirmed the case is under investigation but gave no further details.
