A Shenzhen Airlines flight was delayed for two hours after the arm of a member of the cabin crew was bitten when she intervened in a row between two passengers.
According to a statement from the airline, the incident unfolded on April 1 when a plane scheduled to fly from Shenzhen in southern China to Shanghai was ready to take off.
The conflict erupted between two female passengers sitting near each other.
One of the women was complaining about the other’s body odour, while the other was objecting to the strong smell of her fellow passenger’s perfume, according to a report by the media outlet, Shenzhen Business News.
Their verbal spat quickly escalated into a physical confrontation.
Two women flight attendants and a pair of male colleagues tried to step in and stop the fight.
