The violence on flights continues as a video was captured Sunday of a fist fight that broke out after a Southwest Airlines flight landed in Burbank, California.
According to The Associated Press, Southwest Airlines Flight 2530 had just landed at Hollywood Burbank Airport following a journey from Dallas.
As the plane taxied to the gate to allow passengers off who weren't continuing to Oakland, the Burbank Police Department said a fight broke out between two male passengers.
While authorities were unclear on how the incident started, the suspect, identified as 37-year-old Chaze Cable, allegedly assaulted the other passenger, causing a contusion to his left eye, a laceration to his nose and a chipped tooth.
Video of the incident shows the two men arguing with each other as a woman tries to restrain one of them. Eventually, the passengers come to blows, with one man getting the upper hand and punching the other man several times.
"Our employees are our everyday heroes and are trained to de-escalate conflict while delivering heartfelt hospitality on nearly 4000 flights to nearly the half-million customers who fly Southwest every day," the airline said in a statement to ABC News.

Following the attack, the unnamed victim performed a citizen's arrest on Cable until police from the Burbank airport arrested the man for assault and battery. The Burbank Police Department then took Cable into custody under charges of misdemeanor battery.
Cable pleaded not guilty Tuesday and is being held at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles without bail.
