Wild fight breaks out on Greek ferry over toilets

·

A wild fight over toilets erupted on a Greek passenger ferry travelling from Crete to Athens on Monday, August 19.

The fight is thought to have erupted when a passenger complained to a crew member about the on-board toilet facilities during the eight-hour journey from Chania to Piraeus port. The report did not clarify if the facilities were closed or not working. 

According to Ekatherimini, a crew member tried to calm down the passenger but the argument spiralled out of control and the two men came to blows. A second passenger joined the fight in support of the seaman and the three men had to be separated by other crew members and passengers. 

A video on the incident recorded on a phone and published by ERT showed several men arguing. One had his T-shirt torn off. 

The ship continued its route to Athens and no police were involved.
