A ten-year-old was hit over the head by a flying wine bottle after a fight broke out between two stag parties on a Ryanair flight.

Four passengers were detained by Spanish police after the Edinburgh flight landed in Alicante, Ryanair confirmed.

A passenger on the flight told the Daily Record that the stags were “absolutely hammered” before the 11.15am flight took off.

She said she was travelling with her two children and witnessed another child, 10, hit on the head with the bottle when the brawl broke out during the three-hour flight.

One passenger claimed the fight broke out after members of a stag party mocked another passenger for having a trendy 'topknot' haircut.

“Everyone I spoke to said they’d never experienced anything like it,” she said.

An airline spokesman said they “will not tolerate unruly or disruptive behaviour” and said the safety and comfort of customers, crew and aircraft is their number one priority.
