A flight to Paris from Algiers, Algeria, was forced to land early after a shirtless passenger urinated on another traveller, leading to a massive brawl on board, according to French media reports.
It apparently started because the man was angry he wasn't allowed to smoke and drink on the plane.
Air Mediterranee flight ML2673 turned around and landed in Lyon, France, after the flight crew eventually overpowered the man about halfway through the 90-minute flight.
A second man was also reportedly escorted off the discount airline flight before it continued on to Paris.
Photos posted on Twitter appear to show the bearded man -- naked from the waist up -- pinned with his arms behind his back.
French reports suggest the man has a history of mental illness.
