Flight fight ... A United Airlines flight had to be diverted after two passengers ended in a fight over a knee defender. Source: TheAustralian
A FLIGHT had to be diverted after two passengers ended up in an argument when one clipped a knee defender on to the seat of the woman in front of him so she couldn't recline her chair.
The man had bought the gadget, which retail for about $22, and decided he would use it on his United Airlines flight from New Jersey to Colorado, The Independent reported.
A number of airlines, including United, have banned the devices, saying they cause too many arguments.
He failed to tell the woman in front of him and clipped the knee defender onto her seat so he could keep working on his laptop.
After she was unable to move her seat back she complained to a flight attendant who asked the man to remove the device.

He refused and that's when the woman threw a glass of water in his face.
The pilot decided to divert the plane to Chicago after the row got even more heated and neither passenger was permitted back on the flight.
While we all know leg room can be a bit tight at times, both passengers were in the Economy Plus section, meaning they had an extra four inches of leg room more than those in regular economy.
Chicago Police decided not to make any arrests, saying it was a "customer service issue."
The Knee Defender was invented by Ira Goldman, who at 6ft 4in had always had a problem with leg room.
He told USA Today that passengers should be "courteous" and follow the flight crew's instructions.
