A fiery feud between an unnamed couple on a recent American Airlines flight from Chicago to Toronto forced the aircraft to turn around just fifteen minutes after takeoff and land back at O’Hare International Airport.

American Airlines flight 3284 departed the Windy City air hub at 5:06 p.m. on Wednesday, but soon returned, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. A rep for the carrier confirmed to Fox News that the commotion was caused by “two disruptive passengers.”

Passenger Christy Brissette took to Twitter to share a photo of the scene, writing on the social platform that the male member of the couple had been "assaulting" his wife, and that he "refused" to deplane upon landing, forcing all of the passengers had to exit the aircraft. However, these details have not been reported elsewhere.
