Pilots and crew members on an Air India jet came to blows mid-flight in an argument about sex harassment. Stunned passengers watched grappling staffers spill out of the cockpit into a galley. The fight erupted when a flight attendant complained about harassment by the pilots en route from Pakistan to New Delhi, reports BBC. Pilots claim the complaint was an attempt to derail a misconduct report about a male staffer. No one was seriously injured and the plane landed safely. Police are investigating.
