A drunken Russian at night arranged a fight on board a charter that was heading from Moscow to the Turkish resort of Bodrum. This is reported by Interfax with reference to a source in emergency services.

According to the source, one of the passengers of the flight Moscow-Mugla (Bodrum), probably abusing strong alcoholic beverages even before departure, behaved inadequately and on approach to Krasnodar started a fight with neighbors.

The source said that flight attendants failed to reassure the man, and the commander decided to interrupt the flight.

The plane had to land in Krasnodar, as the situation on board was carrying a threat to the lives of passengers. The instigator of the fight was removed from the voyage and handed over to the police. Then the liner continued its flight towards the Turkish resort.
