New York, Jul 4 (PTI) An Indian-origin man was arrested for allegedly starting a fight with a co-passenger on board a flight to Miami from Philadelphia, local media says.

Cellphone footage taken by a fellow passenger shows the two men, Keanu Evans and Ishaan Sharma engaged in a brawl on board the flight while others call them to stop, 7 News reported on Tuesday.
