SHOCKING footage has emerged showing two minibus drivers fighting at a Majorca airport in front of horrified tourists.
The brawl reportedly broke out when one of the drivers began arguing with the other over a group of passengers wanting a transfer.
The dramatic clip, filmed at Palma airport in the capital, shows the pair trading blows.
They were seen throwing punches and holding collars as confused passengers
Just a few seconds later, one of the drivers falls to his knees before an onlooker with a backpack steps in a bid to quell the spat.
The bystander is seen restraining the other driver with a bear hug from behind – but the man fights to escape his clutch.
Security officials at the airport were forced to intervene to put an end to the fight, Majorca Daily Bulletin reports.
National Police officers went to the scene and took the details of the two men. Neither of them had suffered a serious injury.
A fellow taxi driver who was present at the scene said the drivers were fightig like “pirates”.
He said: “They pick up customers inside the airport, but they should not,” he told the Spanish media outlet.
Over the years, there has been an increase in hostility between minibus operators and licensed taxi over customer pickups from the airport.
Even then, locals say a physical a fight between them is a rare occassion.
It comes after a Brit got knocked-out after receiving a sucker-punch amid a row with Benidorm bouncers.
Footage from a fortnight ago shows the lad being knocked to the ground as fellow holidaymakers rush to his aid.
The Brit, dressed in a white t-shirt and trousers, appears caught up in a heated exchange as a friend steps in to try and quell the argument.
As tensions escalate, the man is seen being brutally punched in the face and falling to the ground, contorting one of his legs.
The shocking clip then shows a woman in a pink cowboy hat rushing to the man’s aid as a group of lads row with the security guards.
According to one onlooker, the scuffle escalated when one man – who appeared to be a local – asked the other to leave the bar.
The fight also comes just a month after two Brits were caught brawling in Tenerife.
The violent footage filmed in Playa de Las Américas sparked fury among locals on the popular holiday island.
