Narrative:
I was not involved in the incident at all as I was in the business class galley, and the incident took place in the main cabin. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states that 2 passenger were in a scuffle because one wanted to put his seat back and the other objected. These were both very big men and felt very cramped in their seats. The fight was primarily between the two but flight attendants tried to calm the situation. Police were called to meet the flight.
