*A wild fight broke out on an American Airlines flight from Las Vegas
to Charlotte, North Carolina, on Monday

The fight spawned over an angry passenger who became disruptive when
they were told they would have to leave the plane if they did not wear
a mask

A wild brawl broke out on an American Airline flight after a passenger
grew disruptive after they were asked to leave the flight because they
weren't wearing a mask.

The wild clip, shared across Twitter by Caryn Ross but filmed by her
husband, showed the wild commotion that unfolded during the flight Las
Vegas to Charlotte, North Carolina.

'Nothing like a morning Fight Club as tempers flared on @AmericanAir
LAS-CLT flight today,' Ross said in the clip, shared on Monday. 'So
much for social distancing! #AAFightClub'

Ross's husband shared a longer clip of the video to his own Twitter
page showing the plane mostly full before chaos breaks loose.

He narrates for a bit before panning to a group of women standing in
the aisle.

One of the women can be seen wearing a mask but it unclear whether the
other woman is wearing one.

The two squabble and wind up falling into the seats as they continue
throwing punches.

The woman would eventually get off the plane but only after
authorities were called to the scene.

American Airlines released a statement sharing their COVID mask policy
and the events leading up to the video.

'On Monday, a customer on American Airlines Flight 1665 with service
from Las Vegas to Charlotte failed to comply with our mandatory
face-covering policy after boarding the aircraft prior to departure.
In accordance with our policy, the customer was subsequently asked to
leave the aircraft and became disruptive, resulting in an altercation
with other passengers,' the airline said in a statement, Fox 5
reports.

They continued: 'American, like other U.S. airlines, began requiring
customers to wear a face-covering while onboard aircraft beginning May
11. We have since strengthened our policy to require face coverings be
worn at airports and onboard, and announced in June that we may deny
future travel for customers who refuse to wear a face-covering for the
duration of this requirement.'
