A Ryanair spokesperson said: “We will not tolerate unruly or disruptive behaviour at any time and the safety and comfort of our customers, crew and aircraft is our number one priority.

“This is now a matter for local police.”

Footage of the fracas shows one man swearing at another, before throwing a punch at him.

Another man exposed himself during the fight, passengers have also said.

One eyewitness said: “One of the very drunken members of the group tried to stop the fight but was unsuccessful. That’s when the cabin crew said we need to stop off in Berlin.”
