This is the moment a brawl erupted between two furious passengers after a mid-air row broke out over seating.

Video shows brave air crew desperately trying to calm the two fighting passengers a few hours in to the long-haul EVA Air flight from Taiwan to San Francisco.

Punches were thrown and one of the men had to be restrained as fellow passengers screamed.

The fight is said to have broke out after one of the men became upset by a passenger next to him who was constantly coughing. 

He then took it upon himself to change seats and went to find an empty one. He sat down, but several minutes later, the seat's original occupant returned. 

An ensuing row quickly erupted into a violent brawl and cabin crew members had to put themselves between the two men to break it up.

The row started about three hours into the 11-and-a-half-hour flight. 

Following the brawl the two men, who continued to point and shout at each other, were kept apart for the remainder of the flight.

They were then handed over to the police in San Francisco upon arrival.

The Taiwanese airline has yet to release a statement about the incident.
